▪ Abstract Semiconductor nanowires and nanotubes exhibit novel electronic and optical
properties owing to their unique structural one-dimensionality and possible quantum …

Heterogeneous catalysis is a chemical process performed at a solid–gas or solid–liquid
interface. Direct participation of catalyst atoms in this chemical process determines the …

The III nitrides have been intensely studied in recent years because of their huge potential
for everything from high-efficiency solid-state lighting and photovoltaics to high-power and …

The tremendous interest in nanoscale structures such as quantum dots (zero-dimension)
and wires (quasi-one-dimension) stems from their size-dependent properties. One …

Semiconductor nanowires have been the subject of intensive research investment over the
past few decades. Their physical properties afford them applications in a vast network of …

In recent years, GaN nanorods are emerging as a very promising novel route toward devices
for nano-optoelectronics and nano-photonics. In particular, core-shell light emitting devices …

The development of integrated electronic circuitry ranks among the most disruptive and
transformative technologies of the 20th century. Even though integrated circuits are …

Single-crystalline, one-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures are considered to be one
of the critical building blocks for nanoscale optoelectronics. Elucidation of the vapour–liquid …

We report an efficient method to synthesize vertically aligned Co3O4 nanostructures on the
surface of cobalt foils. This synthesis is accomplished by simply heating the cobalt foils in the …

The serendipitously discovered solution− liquid− solid (SLS) mechanism has been refined
into a nearly general synthetic method for semiconductor nanowires. Purposeful control of …
