Efficient solar energy conversion with CuInS2

TL;DR: In this paper, a new heterogeneous poly crystalline n-CuInS2 based semiconductor which has yielded conversion efficiencies of 9.7% in an electrochemical cell was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

General form of the dependences of nanowire growth rate on the nanowire radius

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model of nanowire growth by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism is considered, that accounts for the Gibbs-Thomson effect, the nucleation-mediated growth and the diffusion of adatoms to the wire top.

Bismuth Nanocrystal-Seeded III-V Semiconductor Nanowire Synthesis

TL;DR: In this article, Bismuth (Bi) nanocrystals are used for solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis of crystalline InAs, GaP, GaAs, and InP nanowires at temperatures between 300 and 340 °C in trioctylphosphine (TOP), TOPO, and trioctylamine (TOA).

CdS Multipod-Based Structures through a Thermal Evaporation Process

TL;DR: In this paper, a vapor−liquid mechanism was proposed for the formation of CdS multipod-based structures, such as tetrapod-like microrods, and long branched nanowires, without the use of a catalyst.

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.
