Abstract

The present era is of nanotechnology and nano-materials. Therefore, a large number of investigations are being carried out in nano-structured semiconductors also. Consequently, the newer nano-based semiconducting materials and devices are being researched. Many recent developments in this field are included briefly in this chapter by incorporating the published research papers. The main emerging nano-semiconducting materials and devices included here are: semiconductor nanowires, nano crystals, nanogap devices, nanoparticle- based organic photovoltaic devices, nanoscale semiconductor, artificial electronic skin, semiconductor nanomembranes, nano-structured tin-dioxide materials, nano-structures based solar energy applications, metal-semiconductor hybrid nanostructures, inorganic semiconductor nanostructures etc.
