Books By Wei Lu, Jie Xiang - Author

Wei Lu has been working on semiconductor nanowires since 2003. Among his achievements in nanowire research include the development of Ge/Si core/shell heterostructure nanowires and their applications, the synthesis and application of n-type Si nanowires, metal/semiconductor nanowire heterostructures, nanowire-based nanoelectromechanical systems, and the growth and applications of transparent conducting oxide nanowires. Currently his group works on the development of vertical nanowire transistors and photodetectors, and memory and logic devices based on two-terminal resistive switches (memristors). He is currently an associate professor at the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor. He received B.S. degree in physics from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 1996, and Ph.D. in physics from Rice University, Houston, TX in 2003. From 2003 to 2005, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. He joined the faculty of UM
