One-dimensional nanostructures are generally cited as nanowires, nanofibers, nanotubes,
and so on. The foremost prominent feature of these materials is their electrical conductivity …

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) represent a new class of materials and a shift from
conventional two-dimensional bulk thin films to three-dimensional devices. Unlike thin film …

A high-performance broad band UV/visible photodetector has been successfully fabricated
on a fully wide bandgap ZnO/ZnS type-II heterojunction core/shell nanowire array. The …

With the increasing impact of environmental degradation, the renewable energy production
has become urgent. Among the various efforts, hydrogen is considered to be the promising …

Hot carrier harvest could save 30% energy loss in solar cells. So far, however, it is still
unreachable as the photoexcited hot carriers are short-lived,∼ 1 ps, determined by a rapid …

Polytype nanodots are arguably the simplest nanodots than can be made, but their
technological control was, up to now, challenging. We have developed a technique to …

Semiconductor quantum dots embedded in nanowires (NW-QDs) can be used as efficient
sources of nonclassical light with ultrahigh brightness and indistinguishability, needed for …

Here we investigate the feasibility of silver as seed-particle material to synthesize GaAs
nanowires and show that both crystal phase and growth direction can be controlled by …

We use low-temperature photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and
photoluminescence imaging spectroscopy to explore the optical and electronic properties of …

The accurate control of the crystal phase in III–V semiconductor nanowires (NWs) is an
important milestone for device applications. Although cubic zinc-blende (ZB) GaAs is a well …
