Rationally controlled growth of inorganic semiconductor nanowires is important for their applica- tions in nanoscale electronics and photonics. In this article, we discuss the rational growth, physical proper- ties, and integration of nanowires based on the results from the authors× laboratory. The composition, diameter, growth position, and orientation of the nanowires are controlled based on the vapor ± solid ± liquid (VLS) crystal growth mechanism. The thermal stability and optical properties of these semiconductor nanowires are investigated. Particularly, ZnO nanowires with well- defined end surfaces can function as room-temperature ultraviolet nanolasers. In addition, a novel microfluidic- assisted nanowire integration (MANI) process was de- veloped for the hierarchical assembly of nanowire build- ing blocks into functional devices and systems.read more

Self-assembling peptide semiconductors
TL;DR: These computational studies provide a conceptual framework for the tunability of the semiconductivity of a peptide assembly, and also demonstrate the feasibility of theoretical probing of the mechanisms leading to band gap formation and the subsequent design of building blocks with desired electronic properties.

TL;DR: This work reports that the geometry of hydrothermally grown zinc oxide nanowires can be tuned from platelets to needles, and indicates that electrostatic interactions in aqueous crystal growth may be systematically manipulated to synthesize nanostructures and devices with enhanced structural control.

Nanowire lasers.
TL;DR: In this article, the use of semiconductor nanowires as gain media for stimulated emission and lasing has been studied for low-threshold light sources and optical interconnects, and the potential of nanolasers in many applications such as nanophotonic devices that integrate electronics and photonics for next-generation optoelectronic devices.

Simple and scalable growth of AgCl nanorods by plasma-assisted strain relaxation on flexible polymer substrates.
TL;DR: This work fabricates single-crystal AgCl nanorods by using a Cl2 plasma on Ag-coated polyimide to form AgCl Nanorods, which exhibit superior haze up to 100% and luminance of optical device increased by up to 33%.
