Journal ArticleDOI
Guided Growth of Millimeter-Long Horizontal Nanowires with Controlled Orientations
TL;DR: In this article, the growth directions, crystallographic orientation, and faceting of the nanowires vary with each surface orientation, as determined by their epitaxial relationship with the substrate, as well as by a graphoepitaxial effect that guides their growth along surface steps and grooves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-scale Ni-doped ZnO nanowire arrays and electrical and optical properties.
TL;DR: The photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the doped ZnO NWs has a red shift, suggesting possible doping induced band edge bending, and could be the basis for building integrated nanoscale transistors, sensors, and photodetectors.

TL;DR: In this paper, microwave-array solar cells with air mass 1.5 and fill factor > 65% have been fabricated using an active volume of Si equivalent to a 4 μm thick Si wafer, which exhibited opencircuit voltages of 500 mV, short-circuit current densities (Jsc) of up to 24 mA cm-2, and fill factors > 65%.

Journal ArticleDOI
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.
