Crystallographically oriented mesoporous WO3 films: synthesis, characterization, and applications.

TL;DR: Mesoporous semiconducting films consisting of preferentially orientated monoclinic-phase nanocrystals of tungsten trioxide have been prepared using a novel version of the sol-gel method, combining excellent photoresponse to the blue region of the solar spectrum, up to 500 nm, with good transparency at wavelengths larger than 550 nm.

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem

TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.

Synthesis and characterization of nearly monodisperse CdE (E = sulfur, selenium, tellurium) semiconductor nanocrystallites

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple route to the production of high-quality CdE (E=S, Se, Te) semiconductor nanocrystallites is presented, based on pyrolysis of organometallic reagents by injection into a hot coordinating solvent.

Silicon quantum wire array fabrication by electrochemical and chemical dissolution of wafers

TL;DR: In this paper, free standing Si quantum wires can be fabricated without the use of epitaxial deposition or lithography using electrochemical and chemical dissolution steps to define networks of isolated wires out of bulk wafers.

Electron–electron and electron‐hole interactions in small semiconductor crystallites: The size dependence of the lowest excited electronic state

TL;DR: In this paper, the excited electronic states of semiconductor crystallites sufficiently small (∼50 A diam) that the electronic properties differ from those of bulk materials were modeled, and an approximate formula was given for the lowest excited electronic state energy.
