Semiconductor nanowire lasers
TL;DR: A review of the status and perspectives of semiconductor nanowire lasers, with a particular emphasis on their optical characteristics categorized in two groups: (1) waveguiding related properties in Section 3, which includes waveguide modes, near-field coupling, endface reflection, substrate-induced effects, and (2) optically pumped semiconductor Nanowire laser in Section 4, starting from principles and basic types of UV, visible, and near-IR nanowires relying on Fabry-Perot cavities, to advanced configurations including wavelength-tunable, single-mode

Metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon and the behavior of nanoscale silicon materials as Li-ion battery anodes
William McSweeney,William McSweeney,William McSweeney,Hugh Geaney,Hugh Geaney,Colm O'Dwyer,Colm O'Dwyer +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of silicon as an anode for Li-ion batteries is reviewed, where factors such as film thickness, doping, alloying, and their response to reversible lithiation processes are summarized and discussed with respect to battery cell performance.

Transient devices designed to undergo programmable transformations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a class of transient devices, including active and passive devices that electrically and/or physically transform upon application of at least one internal or external stimulus.

ZnSe nanowires epitaxially grown on GaP(111) substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy
TL;DR: In this paper, the Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid deposition was used for the growth of single crystalline ZnSe nanowires with uniform diameters (∼10 nm) on GaP(111) substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism for nanowire growth and a model for this mechanism.
TL;DR: This study finds that increase in diameter with time of the droplet of tapered nanowires results primarily from gradual incorporation of oversupplied nanowire species into the FECA-mediated droplet, which is supported by experiments.

The influence of dislocations on crystal growth
TL;DR: In fact, the existence of a critical finite supersaturation for further growth has only been established for a few materials, and then for individual faces of individual crystals, being different from case to case as discussed by the authors.

Epitaxial Silicon Films by the Hydrogen Reduction of SiCl4
TL;DR: In this article, the basic chemistry and reaction kinetics pertinent to the growth of these films are discussed in detail in detail, including the hydrogen reduction of silicon tetrachloride appropriately doped with or.
