Catalytic Growth of Silicon Nanowires Assisted by Laser Ablation
TL;DR: In this article, a single-crystalline silicon nanowires (SiNWs, diameter ≥ 5 nm, and length ∼ μm) have been fabricated with metal and SiO2-catalyses assisted by laser ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
Guozhen Shen,Cheol Jin Lee +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
