title = "High-yield TiO2 nanowire synthesis and single nanowire field-effect transistor fabrication",
abstract = "We report a facile method for synthesizing single-crystal rutile TiO 2 nanowires using atmospheric-pressure, chemical vapor deposition with Ti and TiO as precursors. The synthesis is found to depend critically on the predeposition of a layer of metallic Ti on the Ni catalysts layer. The omission of this step seems previously to have impeded the efficient synthesis of titania nanowires. Single-nanowire field-effect transistors showed the TiO2 nanowires to be n -type semiconductors with conductance activation energy of ∼58 meV.",
