To solve the problem of the global energy shortage and the pollution of the environment, in
recent years, semiconductor photocatalytic technology that converts solar energy into …

Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the first quantum information task to reach the level of
mature technology, already fit for commercialization. It aims at the creation of a secret key …

Recently, there has been much interest in a new kind of “unspeakable” quantum information
that stands to regular quantum information in the same way that a direction in space or a …

Applications of nanowires into future generation nanodevices require a complete
understanding of the mechanical properties of the nanowires. A great research effort has …

Elastic wave-based devices made of piezoelectric semiconductors (PSs) find wide
applications in modern scientific and technological fields. Elastic waves propagating in PS …

This report deals with the mechanism behind the unusual behavior of nanostructures in
mechanical strength, thermal stability, acoustics (lattice dynamics), photonics, electronics …

The field of thermoelectric research has undergone a renaissance and boom in the past two
and a half decades, largely fueled by the prospect of engineering electronic and phononic …

Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the development of nano-electro-
mechanical systems (NEMS) such as nanomechanical resonators, which have recently …

“Smaller is stronger.” Nanostructured materials such as thin films, nanowires, nanoparticles,
bulk nanocomposites, and atomic sheets can withstand non-hydrostatic (eg, tensile or …

We have applied the perturbation theory for calculating the piezoelectric potential
distribution in a nanowire (NW) as pushed by a lateral force at the tip. The analytical solution …
