Abstract

It has been found that Ni forms ohmic contacts and Ti forms Schottky-barrier contacts to boron nanowires (BNWs). Using two-step electron-beam lithography, Ni and Ti electrodes are subsequently attached onto the ends of a single BNW. As a result, a nanoscale rectifier is created using a BNW.
