Abstract
The project aims 1) to find optimum conditions for the growth of silicon nanowires used in nanostructured photovoltaic solar cells and for nanoelectronic devices 2) to characterize the properties of the prepared nanowires by correlating their morphology, structure and electronic properties on nanometre scale and 3) to investigate novel principles of the nanowire applying by exploring theri nanoheterostructures with carbon-based or organic nanomaterials.
