Monte Carlo (MC) and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) models are widely used for studying the
physicochemical surface phenomena encountered in most deposition processes. This …

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

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 …

Au was photoelectrochemically deposited onto cylindrical or tapered p-Si microwires on Si
substrates to profile the photoinduced charge-carrier generation in individual wires in a …

Highly anisotropic and ordered nanoscale lamellar morphologies can be spontaneously
generated over macroscopic areas, without the use of a photomask or any templating …

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

New methods are needed to increase the activity and stability of earth-abundant catalysts for
electrochemical water splitting to produce hydrogen fuel. Electrodeposition has been …

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 …
