Sentences with phrase «nanometre wire»
A 4 - nanometre wire of silicon, about 20 000 times thinner than a human hair, is called a «quantum wire», since the carriers within it are strongly confined in two dimensions but free to move long distances in the third dimension, along the wire.

Over a period of about four hours, the wires grew to a length of some 4000 nanometres.
The team simulated a wire 200 nanometres wide and found it absorbed light from up to 100 nanometres from its edge.
The smallest wire they have observed is about 1.2 nanometres across — just two to three atoms.
Keeping electrons on track is easy: they obediently confine themselves to metal wires as thin as a few nanometres across.
These materials are made up of quantum wires that are between 2 and 3 nanometres wide, and because the width of the wires has an important effect on the time it takes luminescence to decay, wires thinner than 1.5 nanometres will be needed before nanosecond times are possible.
These are rows of individual gold atoms twisted around a central axis — like a wire spring — which measure 0.6 nanometres wide by 5 nm long.
With length of several micrometres the wires can exceed the length of the cells by far, but their diameter is only a few nanometres.
