External parameters such as temperature, pressure, and concentration are typically used to
control chemical transformations in molecules and materials. Many classes of inorganic …

We investigate the effect of micro/nano hybrid structures in cemented tungsten carbide with
a focus on optical absorption enhancement. Distinct micro/nano hybrid structures, including …

Highly periodic, geometrically directed, anisotropic Se–Pb films have been synthesized at
room temperature from an isotropic aqueous solution without the use of physical templates …

Inclination of unpatterned, linearly polarized illumination in the plane of the electric field
oscillation effected increased directional feature alignment and decreased off-axis order in …

Photoexcitation can be used to control the composition and nanoscale morphology of
inorganic materials. Here we report the photoinduced transformation of faceted cuprous …

Inorganic phototropic growth using only spatially conformal illumination generated Se–Cd
films that exhibited precise light-defined mesoscale morphologies including highly ordered …

Plants exhibit phototropism in which growth is directed toward sunlight and demonstrate
morphological plasticity in response to changes in the spectral distribution of the incident …

We report herein that synergistic light absorption in the optical near-field enables nanoscale
self-organization during inorganic phototropic growth. Se–Te was grown electrochemically …

Chalcogenide glasses (GhGs) are quoted as a key material for the development of infrared
technologies due to its unique optical properties. The right choice of processing technique is …

External fields can be used to regulate the morphological and chemical properties of
electrochemically synthesized materials. One example is phototropism, where the coaction …
