The solution–liquid–solid (SLS) and related solution-based methods for the synthesis of
semiconductor nanowires and nanorods are reviewed. Since its discovery in 1995, the SLS …

Pronounced polarization anisotropy in semiconductor nanowires has been exploited to
achieve polarization-sensitive devices operating across the electromagnetic spectrum, from …

The use of nanowires and nanowire structures as photodetectors is an emerging research
topic. Despite the large amount of reports on nanowire photoresponse that appeared in the …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

An analysis is presented of optical absorption and emission in semiconducting, metallic, and
mixed core-shell nanowires are considered theoretically. Due to image forces caused by the …

The direct synthesis of GaAs quantum-wire structures on (311) A oriented substrates by
molecular-beam epitaxy has been achieved due to the in situ formation of an array of …

We report on the direct synthesis of superlattices with lateral corrugation of the interfaces on
(211),(311), and (111) GaAs substrates by moelcular-beam epitaxy. Reflection electron …

Micro p‐n junctions are formed in GaAs nanowhiskers having diameters of about 100 nm by
metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The result of photoluminescence measurement shows …

The polarization dependence of absorption and emission spectra in cylindrical quantum
wires is studied using a formulation of multiband envelope-function theory in a …

For semiconducting nanowires with the dielectric constant ε differing from that of their
environment, the distribution of ac electric fields, created in a nanowire by an external …
