This project addresses the growing demand for sustainable nanostructured materials fabricated at low temperatures for various applications. Oxide nanostructures, particularly zinc-based systems like zinc-tin oxide (ZTO), offer excellent electrical properties and multifunctionality, making them promising candidates for future electronics. However, most studies focus on microscale properties, limiting their integration into miniaturized devices. To bridge this gap, the project proposes an innovative protocol for the electrical characterization of individual nanowires (NWs) using electron-beam-assisted deposition (EAD) and conventional patterning techniques.

The project aims to fabricate transistors and memristors as proof-of-concept for low-device-count nanocircuits. Special focus will be given to ZnSnO₃ and Zn₂SnO₄ NWs, optimizing their low-temperature hydrothermal synthesis for scalable and environmentally friendly applications, aligning with IoT and sustainable technologies.
