Thermal Rectification in Telescopic Nanowires: Impact of Thermal Boundary Resistance

A thermal diode, which, by analogy to its electrical counterpart, rectifies heat current, is the building block for thermal circuits. To realize a thermal diode, we demonstrate thermal rectification in a GaAs telescopic nanowire system using the thermal br ...

Generation of Human iPSC-Derived Neurons on Nanowire Arrays Featuring Varying Lengths, Pitches, and Diameters

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim

Nanowire (NW) arrays interfaced with biological cells have been demonstrated to be potent tools for advanced applications such as sensing, stimulation, or drug delivery. Many implementations, however, have so far only been studied with rather robust basic ...

Dataset for "GaAs nanowires on Si nanopillars: towards large scale, phase-engineered arrays"

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Didem Dede, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Wonjong Kim, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Lea Ghisalberti, William Craig Carter, Akshay Balgarkashi

Large-scale patterning for vapor-liquid-solid growth of III-V nanowires is a challenge given the required feature size for patterning (45 to 60 nm holes). In fact, arrays are traditionally manufactured using electron-beam lithography,for which processing t ...
