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

Silicon solar cells are the most established solar cell technology and are expected to
dominate the market in the near future. As state-of-the-art silicon solar cells are approaching …

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 …

III–V nanowires (NWs) have been envisioned as nanoscale materials for next-generation
technology with good functionality, superior performance, high integration ability and low …

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 …

We experimentally demonstrate near-unity, unselective absorption, broadband, angle-
insensitive, and polarization-independent absorption, in sparse InP nanowire arrays …

We report design methods for achieving near-unity broadband light absorption in sparse
nanowire arrays, illustrated by results for visible absorption in GaAs nanowires on Si …

Quantum dots tuned to atomic resonances represent an emerging field of hybrid quantum
systems where the advantages of quantum dots and natural atoms can be combined …

Achieving quantum confinement by bottom-up growth of nanowires has so far been limited
to the ability of obtaining stable metal droplets of radii around 10 nm or less. This is within …
