Abstract

A new biomimetic method to grow crystalline oxide semiconductor nanowires was investigated by templating collagen-like triple helix peptide nanowires. This bio-templating method could develop the semiconductor nanowire at low temperature and in monodisperse size. The triple helix was designed to be stable under the semicondcutor growth conditions due to the improved mechanical strength via optimization of the peptide sequence.
