β¦ Synopsis
Highly uniform SnO~2~ nanowires, with bulk electronic properties directed by their surface chemistry, have been produced by isolating and oxidizing tin nanowires selected from a templateβsynthesized array. The nanowires act as sensitive, fast, stable, and reproducible gas sensors that can be easily integrated into a multiβcomponent array (see Figure).

A tin oxide semiconductor modified with CaO is found to be especially sensitive to odor molecules and to have some sensing characteristics perfectly suited to the detection of odor. The sensitivity to more than 70 species of organic or inorganic molecules associated with odor has been measured in th
