Abstract

X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy and related techniques such as X-ray emission spectroscopy and X-ray Excited Optical luminescence play a significant role in understanding the electronic structures of group IV semiconductor nanowires. This chapter reviews how these techniques have been recently used to reveal the unique properties of group IV semiconductor nanowires, especially silicon and germanium, and their oxides. Other group IV nanowires, such as carbon and tin nanowires are also noted.
