Manosensors based on individual hibrid structures and their application in gas sensing at room temperature

Abstract

During the last decades, the progress of bottom-up technologies has emerged in fabrication of high-performance nanodevices based on individual nano- and microstructures [1-3]. A special attention has been paid for metal oxide structures due to their unique structural, chemical and electrical properties [4]. Due to high surface-to-volume ratio of individual nanostructures, the charge transport through the conduction channel is highly influenced by surface phenomena, such as adsorption/desorption of gaseous and biological species [3-5].
