Graphical Abstract

Staying on top: Altering the surface of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by terminating the surface with different species and/or introducing surface adsorbates can change the electrical properties of the SiNWs. Such easy, nondestructive conductivity modification would expand possible applications of SiNWs.
