Ultrathin tungsten bronze nanowires with efficient photo-to-thermal conversion behavior
摘要： In this work, we describe a simple one-step solvothermal method to synthesize ultrathin quaternary tungsten bronze nanowires (QTBNWs). In addition, a series of alkali metal-doped QTBNWs can be prepared by simply changing the type of starting alkali carbonate and tungstate. The as-synthesized QTBNWs exhibits strong near-infrared (NIR) rays absorption, high visible light transmission and excellent photo-to-thermal conversion behavior, which are superior to those of tungsten bronze nanorods and ternary TBNWs. And its excellent photothermal performance should be attributed to great localized surface plasmon resonances (SPR).

Optical Trapping, Optical Binding, and Rotational Dynamics of Silicon Nanowires in Counter-Propagating Beams
摘要： Silicon nanowires are held and manipulated in controlled optical traps based on counter-propagating beams focused by low numerical aperture lenses. The double-beam configuration compensates light scattering forces enabling an in-depth investigation of the rich dynamics of trapped nanowires that are prone to both optical and hydrodynamic interactions. Several polarization configurations are used, allowing the observation of optical binding with different stable structure as well as the transfer of spin and/or orbital momentum of light to the trapped silicon nanowires. Accurate modeling based on Brownian dynamics simulations with appropriate optical and hydrodynamic coupling confirms that this rich scenario is crucially dependent on the non-spherical shape of the nanowires. Such increased level of optical control of multi-particle structure and dynamics open perspectives for nanofluidics and multicomponent light-driven nanomachines.

Growth and Characterization of Indium Oxide, Zinc Oxide and Cadmium Sulfide Nanowires by Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth Technique
摘要： In this study, the growth of three important semiconductor nanowires, Zinc Oxide, Indium Oxide and Cadmium Sulfide nanowires using the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) method has been investigated. Different growth recipes with different growth parameters were incorporated to synthesize high quality and long NWs. It attempts to provide precise growth recipes which lead to high quality of nanowires. The effect of different growth conditions such as growth temperature, carrier gas flow, presence of metal catalyst and growth time has been investigated. Also, to evaluate the crystal quality of the nanowires, photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the as grown nanowires were investigated.

PLD fabrication of oriented nanowires in magnetic field
摘要： This paper presents an experimental investigation on laser-assisted fabrication of oriented nanowires composed by magnetic nanoparticles. The nanowires were produced by implementation of pulsed laser deposition in presence of a magnetic field. The application of an external magnetic field led to the formation of nanowires with a length of several micrometers whose orientation is influenced by the direction of the magnetic field lines. The influence of the type of ambient gas and its pressure on morphology and phase composition of the deposited samples was investigated. It was found that the ambient gas has direct influence on both the degree of orientation and the phase composition of the nanowires. SEM analysis of samples deposited at different target-substrate distances showed that the density of the nanowires decreases with the increase of the distance. A preliminary result on the magnetic properties of the produced nanowires is also reported.

Hierarchical zinc oxide nanorings with superior sensing properties
摘要： Morphology controlled hydrothermal synthesis techniques have been realised to produce hierarchical zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures with high surface-to-volume ratios and more exposed polar facets. Hierarchical ZnO nanorings (HNRs) were produced by growing secondary nanowires (NWs) on initial mono-morphological nanodisks (NDs). In the two steps of growth process, zinc sulphate and zinc nitrate were used as the source of zinc ions, respectively. In comparison with NWs and NDs, the grown HNRs showed more enhanced performance as gas sensors. HNRs were substantially sensitive and faster in responding to acetone. This high performance in gas sensing is due to the increased surface-to-volume ratio and small size of the NW building blocks as well as the increased proportion of (0 0 0 1) polar facets. This work represents a guide to structure induced improvement of sensing properties by controlling the morphology of nanostructures.

Solution-synthesized chiral piezoelectric selenium nanowires for wearable self-powered human-integrated monitoring
摘要： Smart sensing devices with high stretchability and self-powered characteristics are essential in future generation wearable human-integrated applications. Here we report for the first time scalable synthesis and integration of selenium (Se) nanowires into wearable piezoelectric devices, and explore the feasibility of such devices for self-powered sensing applications, e.g., physiological monitoring. The ultrathin device can be conformably worn onto the human body, effectively converting the imperceptible time-variant mechanical vibration from the human body into distinguishable electrical signals, e.g., gesture, vocal movement, and radial artery pulse, through straining the piezoelectric Se nanowires. Our results suggest the potential of solution-synthesized Se nanowire a new class of piezoelectric nanomaterial for self-powered biomedical devices and opens doors to new technologies in energy, electronics, and sensor applications.

Radially resolved electronic structure and charge carrier transport in silicon nanowires
摘要： The electronic structure of silicon nanowires is studied using density functional theory. A radially resolved density of states is discussed for different nanowire diameters and crystal orientations. This approach allows the investigation of spatially varying electronic properties in the radial direction and extends previous studies, which are usually driven by a one-dimensional band structure analysis. We demonstrate strong differences in the electronic structure between the surface and the center of the nanowire, indicating that the carrier transport will mainly take place in the center. For increasing diameters, the density of states in the center approaches the bulk density of states. We find that bulk properties, such as the indirect nature of the band gap, become significant at a nanowire diameter of approximately 5 nm and beyond. Finally, the spatial characteristic of the current is visualized in terms of transmission pathways on the atomic scale. Electron transport is found to be more localized in the nanowire center than the hole transport. It also depends on the crystal orientation of the wire. For the growing demand of silicon nanowires, for example in the field of sensors or field-effect transistors, multiple conclusions can be drawn from the present work, which we discuss towards the end of the publication.

Imaging the Optical Fields of Functionalized Silver Nanowires through Molecular TERS
摘要： We image 4-mercaptobenzonitrile-functionalized silver nanowires (~20 nm diameter) through tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS). The enhanced local optical field-molecular interactions that govern the recorded hyperspectral TERS images are dissected through hybrid finite-difference time-domain-density functional theory simulations. Our forward simulations illustrate that the recorded spatio-spectral profiles of the chemically functionalized nanowires may be reproduced by accounting for the interaction between orientationally averaged molecular polarizability derivative tensors and enhanced incident/scattered local fields polarized along the tip axis. In effect, we directly map the enhanced optical fields of the nanowire in real space through TERS. The simultaneously recorded atomic force microscopy (AFM) images allow a direct comparison between our attainable spatial resolution in topographic (13 nm) and TERS (5 nm) imaging measurements performed under ambient conditions. Overall, our described protocol enables local electric-field imaging with few nm precision through molecular TERS, and it is therefore generally applicable to a variety of plasmonic nano-structures.

Diffusion-Driven Al-Doping of ZnO Nanorods and Stretchable Gas Sensors Made of Doped ZnO Nanorods/Ag Nanowires Bilayers
摘要： A crystal-damage-free nano-doping method, which utilized the vacuum drive-in diffusion of Al into ZnO nanorods, was developed. In this method, vertical ZnO nanorod arrays that were grown by chemical bath deposition beforehand were deposited with Al thin film and subsequently heat-treated under a high vacuum. At an optimum condition, the surface Al atoms were completely diffused into ZnO nanorods, resulting in Al-doped ZnO nanorods. Stretchable gas sensors were fabricated by sequentially drop-casting Al-doped ZnO nanorods and silver nanowires on PDMS substrate. The resistance and response of the sensor could be optimized through the elaborate control of relative densities of Al-doped ZnO nanorods and silver nanowires. The sensor showed a high response of 32.3% to 10 ppm of NO2 gas at room temperature, even under a large strain of 30%. The NO2-sensing mechanism of Al-doped ZnO nanorods/silver nanowires bilayer sensors is discussed on the basis of synergistic interplay of Al-doped ZnO nanorods and silver nanowires.

InGaAs-GaAs Nanowire Avalanche Photodiodes Toward Single Photon Detection in Free-Running Mode
摘要： Single photon detection at near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths is critical for light detection and ranging (LiDAR) systems used in imaging technologies such as autonomous vehicle trackers and atmospheric remote sensing. Portable, high-performance LiDAR relies on silicon-based single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) due to their extremely low dark count rate (DCR) and afterpulsing probability, but their operation wavelengths are typically limited up to 905 nm. Although InGaAs-InP SPADs offer an alternative platform to extend the operation wavelengths to eye-safe ranges, their high DCR and afterpulsing severely limit their commercial applications. Here we propose a new selective absorption and multiplication avalanche photodiode (SAM-APD) platform composed of vertical InGaAs-GaAs nanowire arrays for single photon detection. Among a total of 4400 nanowires constituting one photodiode, each avalanche event is confined in a single nanowire, which means that the avalanche volume and the number of filled traps can be drastically reduced in our approach. This leads to an extremely small afterpulsing probability compared with conventional InGaAs-based SPADs and enables operation in free-running mode. We show DCR below 10 Hz, due to reduced fill factor, with photon count rates of 7.8 MHz and timing jitter less than 113 ps, which suggest that nanowire-based NIR focal plane arrays for single photon detection can be designed without active quenching circuitry that severely restricts pixel density and portability in NIR commercial SPADs. Therefore, the proposed work based on vertical nanowires provides a new degree of freedom in designing avalanche photodetectors and could be a stepping stone for high-performance InGaAs SPADs.
