Abstract

The semiconductor nanostructures are studied due to their fascinating new property in the perspective of nanotechnology. The properties of semiconductor structures can be altered by external rheological conditions. This article presents an overview of semiconductor nanostructures and their properties, such as electrical, magnetic, and optical properties of semiconductors. Moreover, it presents an intuitive description of a variety of semiconductor nanostructures and ferrocene. The quests for medical and electronic applications of such nanostructures enable exploration of their characteristic properties, including biocompatibility, sensitivity; surface area to volume ratio, piezoelectricity, and strain-induced electrical properties. An intuitive description of size, dimension, and generations of nanomaterials is also presented. The research explores the properties and applications of semiconductor nanostructures, including nanoparticles, nanocomposite, and ferrocene. Moreover, emphasis is given to the essentials of three semiconducting layers, namely monolayer, bilayer, and multilayer, and their pivotal role in bioelectronics and medical applications. Article, therefore, summarizes the potential of applications of semiconductor nanostructure on the basis of their dimension, generations, size, and layers for bioelectronics and biomedicine.
