Low-dimensional semiconductor materials structures, where nanowires are needle-like one-
dimensional examples, have developed into one of the most intensely studied fields of …

Semiconductor nanowires are a class of materials recently gaining increasing interest for
solar cell applications. In this article we review the development of the field with a special …

Selective area epitaxy (SAE) can be used to grow highly uniform III–V nanostructure arrays
in a fully controllable way and is thus of great interest in both basic science and device …

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) represent a new class of materials and a shift from
conventional two-dimensional bulk thin films to three-dimensional devices. Unlike thin film …

III–V semiconductor nanowires have gained intensive attention for solar cell applications
due to their unique geometrical, optical, and electrical properties, as well as improved …

Present day nanowire solar cells have reached an efficiency of 17.8%. Nanophotonic
engineering by nanowire tapering allows for high solar light absorption. In combination with …

Solar energy is abundant, clean, and renewable, making it an ideal energy source. Solar
cells are a good option to harvest this energy. However, it is difficult to balance the cost and …
