In recent years much effort has been spent on the development of experimental techniques to grow well defined nanoscale materials, due to their possible applications in nanometric electronic devices. Indeed the creation of nanowire field effect transistors [128-132], nano-sensors [133,134], atomic scale light emitting diodes and lasers [135,136], has been made possible by the development of new techniques, which allow one to control the growth processes of nanotubes, nanowires and quantum dots. Of particular importance, among the different atomic scale systems experimentally studied, are...

Cobalt-PPy-cobalt nanowire was electrochemically synthesized inside alumina membrane and the field-effect transistors were fabricated by patterning a gate on one side of the cobalt-PPy-cobalt nanowire [409]. The measiued output and transfer characteristics are as good as or better than PPy film field-effect transistors. The gain of the nanowire field-effect transistors could be controlled with successive electrochemical doping of the PPy segment.

While the discussion in this chapter has focused on molecular layers on single crystal silicon surfaces, the attachment chemistries discussed here could easily be applied to functionalize silicon nanowires or nanoparticles. Silicon nanowires have been shown to exhibit interesting electrical transport characteristics and have been used to fabricate nanoscale pn junctions [95], field effect transistors [96] and biochemical sensors [97-100]. However, all these interesting phenomena have been reported on oxidized silicon nanowires. It is likely that better control over the surface properties, as could be achieved by employing some of the chemistry discussed here, could significantly improve the performance of these nanowire-based devices. From another perspective, silicon nanowires could prove extremely...
