Gd disilicide nanowires attached to Si(111) steps (2002)
McChesney, J. L., Kirakosian, A., Bennewitza, R., Crain, J. N., Lin, J. -L., Himpsel, F. J.
Self-assembled electronic devices, such as quantum dots or switchable molecules, need self-assembled nanowires as connections. We explore the growth of conducting Gd disilicide nanowires at step...
