Single-crystalline In2O3 nanowires were synthesized and then utilized to construct field-effect transistors consisting of individual nanowires. These nanowire transistors exhibited nice n-type semiconductor characteristics with well-defined linear and saturation regimes, and on/off ratios as high as 10(4) were observed at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the conductance revealed thermal emission as the dominating transport mechanism. Oxygen molecules adsorbed on the nanowire surface were found to have profound effects, as manifested by a substantial improvement of the device performance in high vacuum. Our work paved the way for In2O3 nanowires to be used as nanoelectronic building blocks and nanosensors. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.
