Abstract
The effect of Joule self-heating of the semiconducting metal oxide nanowire (here (andbelow unless specified), due to the generality of the effect, we use the term ‘nanowire’without specification as to whether the nanobelt or other class of quasi-1D nanostructure isconsidered) conductometric gas sensor on its surface reactivity and kinetics isdemonstrated. Due to small thermal capacitance and hampered thermal losses from thenanowire to its surroundings, the sensor was able to operate without a heater, consumingonly a few microwatts of power. These results demonstrate the importance of theself-heating effect in nanowire electronics and its potential use in chemical and bio-sensing,where the ultra-small size of the active element and minimal power consumption arecrucial.
