Talk:Nanowire

message: the conductance is given as 12.9k (ohm)-1
how come the resistance is that high in that case..also in nanowire, the electron has high mean free path which implies that the resistance is almost in m ohms
inverse of 12.9k (ohm)-1 is 0.077 m ohms..
please confirm me, if it is correct, or you meant something else.

message: I have read that chips are now made that use 0.18 micrometer wires.
Have I understood correctly?
That is 180 nanometers, right?
Is this, then, a nanowire?

--> By chips I assume you are referring to VLSI circuits in computer systems.  Those are made through a several step etching and deposition method on large silicon substrates.  The final product can be considered as filled channels as a better analogy than nanowires.  Nano Dan (talk) 19:56, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

message: At my (Institute ) we use a very simple setup to show Quantum Conductivity with nanowires.
A simple circuit controls a gold plated relay where the connectors are soft enough to drag thin nanowires between them when the relay switch off. An excellent demonstration if you own a oscilloscope and a signal generator (for controlling the relay). The relay is a RS-12V from Matsushita Automation Controls.
I uploaded picture here of the result just in case it could be used in some way.

thread_title:  Expanding the Synthesis Section 

message: Not every structure having a thickness in the tens of nanometers is a nanowire. Every IC has a thin film with a thickness in the tens of nanometers. The width of the structure is the important dimension. I suggest changing the first two lines to: 
A nanowire is a nanostructure with a diameter or thickness and width on the order of a nanometer (10−9 meters). Alternatively, nanowires can be defined as structures that have a width and thickness or diameter constrained to tens of nanometers or less and an unconstrained length.

thread_title:  Nanowire thickness/width 

message: I don't see how the definition "the ratio of the length to width being greater than 1000" can be correct, as this would lead to most wires being classified as nanowires. For example a wire of width 3 millimeters need only be 3 meters long to classify. KingSupernova (talk) 04:30, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
