Abstract

Nanowires show great promise for development in many technological applications including electronics, photonics, and displays . Due to the fine scale of nanowires, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT) are among a limited number of techniques that can measure the crystallographic and chemical nature of these structures which ultimately define their performance.
