Microscopic Deformation Modes and Impact of Network Anisotropy on the Mechanical and Electrical Performance of Five-fold Twinned Silver Nanowire Electrodes.

Silver nanowire (AgNW) networks show excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, which make them ideal candidates for transparent electrodes in flexible and stretchable devices. Various coating strategies and testing setups have been developed to further improve their stretchability and to evaluate their performance. Still, a comprehensive microscopic understanding of the relationship between mechanical and electrical failure is missing.

Tunable conduction type of solution-processed germanium nanoparticle based field effect transistors and their inverter integration.

In this work we demonstrate the fabrication of germanium nanoparticle (NP) based electronics. The whole process chain from the nanoparticle production up to the point of inverter integration is covered. Ge NPs with a mean diameter of 33 nm and a geometric standard deviation of 1.
