Enhancement of Thermoelectric Efficiency by Uniaxial Tensile Stress in n-type GaAs Nanowires

, 2011
The thermoelectric power-factor (PF) and efficiency (ZT) of GaAs nanowires (NWs) can be improved by (i) choosing a proper wire growth and channel orientation, (ii) by applying uniaxial tensile stress, and (iii) suitable wire cross-section size.

A novel top-down fabrication process for Ge2Sb2Te5 phase change material nanowires

, 2013
A novel e-beam free, top-down spacer etch process was used to fabricate sub-hundred nanometer Ge2Sb2Te5 phase change nanowires. Naowires with a cross-section dimension of 50 nm × 100 nm (width × height) were obtained and phase change functionality ...

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Exploring Curvature Effects in Direct‐Written 3D Curved Hollow Magnetic Nanoshells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fabricated by a hybrid FEBID/CVD method, 3D PtC/Co3Fe core–shell heterostructures with engineered curvature and shell thickness exhibit complex reversal modes with axially symmetric N'eel‐type domain walls. XMCD‐PEEM combined with full‐scale micromagnetic simulations reveal how curvature and thickness govern the domain wall energy landscape and shape ...

Synthesis of β-FeSi2 nanowires by using silicon nanowire templates

AIP Advances, 2018
Si nanowires templates were grown by a Cu-catalyzed vapor–liquid–solid process and used for the preparation of β-FeSi2 nanowires on a Si substrate. The silicon nanowires were transformed into β-FeSi2 nanowires by annealing with additional source material

Polarizable Vanadium Dipoles Promote Water Dissociation on Vanadium‐Based Metal Organic Framework

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The polarization of unpaired V 3d electrons weakens the H─O bond to improve water dissociation by the dual Vδ+:O─H and Pλ−:H─O coupling hydrogen bonds formation and relaxation. P@V‐MOF electrocatalyst shows low overpotentials (94 mV in acid, 178 mV in neutral, and 77 mV in alkaline solutions) with excellent stability for effective overall water ...
