TL;DR: In this paper, the dissolution and redeposition of copper from a sol-gel to enhance copper catalysts in terms of their morphology, oxidation state and consequent performance is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, the waveguiding behavior of individual zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires has been characterized with high-resolution optical microscopy, showing a transition from spontaneous to stimulated emission, and analysis of the polarization, line width and line spacing of the laser radiation facilitates identification of the transverse and longitudinal cavity modes and their gain properties.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the exceptional composition tunability of InGaN nitride is due to the low process temperature and the ability of the nanowire morphology to accommodate strain-relaxed growth, which suppresses the tendency toward phase separation that plagues the thin-film community.

TL;DR: Self-organized dendritic crystal growth is explored to assemble uniform semiconductor nanowires into highly ordered one-dimensional microscale arrays that resemble comb structures.

TL;DR: This work presents a new method to chemically control the shape of silver nanocrystals by using a highly anisotropic etching process, which produces intraparticle gaps, which introduce modified plasmonic characteristics and significant scattering intensity in the near-infrared.
