Amorphous silica nanowires: Intensive blue light emitters
Dapeng Yu,Q. L. Hang,Y. Ding,Hongzhou Zhang,Z. G. Bai,Jing Jing Wang,Yinghua Zou,Wei Qian,Guangcheng Xiong,S. Q. Feng +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a large-scale synthesis of silica nanowires (SiONWs) using an excimer laser ablation method was reported. The SiONWs emit stable and high brightness blue light at energies of 2.65 and 3.0 eV.

Silicon nanowire-based solar cells on glass: synthesis, optical properties, and cell parameters.
TL;DR: Silicon nanowire (SiNW)-based solar cells on glass substrates have been fabricated by wet electroless chemical etching (using silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid) of 2.7 microm multicrystalline p(+)nn(+) doped silicon layers thereby creating the nanowires structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma Catalysis: Synergistic Effects at the Nanoscale
TL;DR: This Review critically examines the catalytic mechanisms relevant to each specific application of plasma catalysis, including CO2 conversion, hydrocarbon reforming, synthesis of nanomaterials, ammonia production, and abatement of toxic waste gases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design of light scattering in nanowire materials for photovoltaic applications
TL;DR: This work identifies a design principle for the effective suppression of reflective losses, based on the ratio of the nondiffusive absorption and diffusive scattering lengths, and demonstrates successful suppression of the hemispherical diffuse reflectance of InP nanowires to below that of the corresponding transparent effective medium.

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.
