Abstract
Nanosprings are a new form of nanowires that have potential applications in nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, and nanoelectromechanical systems. In this review we will examine the growth mechanism of these novel nanostructures. The synthesis of nanowires by the vapour-liquid-solid growth mechanism, first proposed by Wagner and Ellis, will be explored and then extended to the development of a model to explain the formation of nanosprings.
