ABSTRACT
Dielectrophoresis (DEP) has been utilized to manipulate nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, metallic nanowires, and semiconductor nanowires such as indium phosphide (InP), tin oxide (SnO2), and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires6-13.Duan et al (2001) first demonstrated the InP nanowire p-n junction structures exhibiting electroluminescence and photoluminescence using a fluidic assembly method. They reported the possibility of the electric-field assisted assembly technique (dc dielectrophoresis) to align and control the nanowires14. However, there are few publications concerning systematic studies of dielectrophoresis related to device applications with semiconductor nanowires.
