Abstract: A PRAM device includes a lower electrode, a phase-change nanowire and an upper electrode. The phase-change nanowire may be electrically connected to the lower electrode and includes a single element. The upper electrode may be electrically connected to the phase-change nanowires.
Abstract: A method of synthesizing silicon wires generally includes the steps of: providing a substrate; forming a copper catalyst particle layer on a top surface of the substrate; heating the reactive device at a temperature of above 450° C. in a flowing protective gas; and introducing a mixture of a protective gas and a silicon-based reactive gas at a temperature of above 450° C. at a pressure of below 700 Torr, thereby forming the silicon wires on the substrate.

Abstract: The invention provides multisegmented, multifunctional magnetic nanowires for the probing and manipulation of molecules at the cellular and subcellular level. The different segments of the nanowire may have differing properties, including a variety of magnetic, non-magnetic, and luminescent behavior. Differences in surface chemistry allow different segments of a single nanowire to be functionalized with different multiple functional groups and/or ligands, giving the wire chemical multifunctionality.
