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

Abstract 1D metal‐oxide nanostructures have attracted much attention because metal
oxides are the most fascinating functional materials. The 1D morphologies can easily …

Nucleation theory provides a powerful tool for growth modeling of a variety of objects: from
liquid droplets to thin solid films and biological structures. Theoretical approaches based on …

Semiconductor nanowires have demonstrated exciting properties for nanophotonics,
sensors, energy technologies, and end-of-roadmap and beyond-roadmap electronic …

Nanowires are conventionally assumed to grow via the vapor-liquid-solid process, in which
material from the vapor is incorporated into the growing nanowire via a liquid catalyst …

Semiconductor nanowires have recently emerged as a new class of materials with
significant potential to reveal new fundamental physics and to propel new applications in …

Seed particles of elements or compounds which may or may not form alloys are now used
extensively in promoting well-controlled nanowire growth. The technology has evolved …

Polarization-dependent Raman scattering experiments realized on single GaAs nanowires
with different percentages of zinc-blende and wurtzite structure are presented. The selection …

We demonstrate vertically aligned epitaxial GaAs nanowires of excellent crystallographic
quality and optimal shape, grown by Au nanoparticle-catalyzed metalorganic chemical …

We predict that heterostructure quantum wires and [111] grown quantum dots have a
vanishing fine-structure splitting on the grounds of their symmetry, and are therefore ideal …
