Tuning growth direction of catalyst-free InAs(Sb) nanowires with indium droplets

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Nicholas Paul Morgan

The need for indium droplets to initiate self-catalyzed growth of InAs nanowires has been highly debated in the last few years. Here, we report on the use of indium droplets to tune the growth direction of self-catalyzed InAs nanowires. The indium droplets ...

Tilting Catalyst-Free InAs Nanowires by 3D-Twinning and Unusual Growth Directions

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Youri Louis Winandus Van Hees

Controlling the growth direction of nanowires is of strategic importance both for applications where nanowire arrays are contacted in parallel and for the formation of more complex nanowire networks. We report on the existence of tilted InAs nanowires on ( ...

Growth of GaAs nanowires on Si (111) for photovoltaic applications

Federico Matteini

The goal of this thesis is to master the synthesis of GaAs nanowires ensembles on Si for their application in solar cells. Semiconductor nanowires present promising characteristics for photovoltaic applications: they benefit from their longitudinal high as ...

Wetting of Ga on SiOx and Its Impact on GaAs Nanowire Growth

Federico Matteini, Heidi Andrea Potts, Fauzia Jabeen

Ga-assisted growth of GaAs nanowires on silicon provides a path for integrating high-purity III-Vs on silicon. The nature of the oxide on the silicon surface has been shown to impact the overall possibility of nanowire growth and their orientation with the ...

Impact of heterocirculene molecular symmetry upon two-dimensional

Despite the development of crystal engineering, it remains a great challenge to predict the crystal structure even for the simplest molecules, and a clear link between molecular and crystal symmetry is missing in general. Here we demonstrate that the two-d ...

Growth and Alignment of Thin Film Organic Single Crystals from Dewetting Patterns

Roland Hany, Jakob Heier, Gian-Luca Bona, Gaëtan Wicht, Raffaele Mezzenga, Thomas Geiger

Studying and understanding the conditions under which organic semiconductors can be engineered to form aligned single crystals in thin films is of primary importance owing to their unique orientation-dependent optoelectronic properties. Efforts to reach th ...

Formation of Fe Cluster Superlattice in a Metal-Organic Quantum-Box Network

Harald Brune, Marina Pivetta, Uta Schlickum, Giulia Elisabetta Pacchioni

We report on the self-assembly of Fe adatoms on a Cu(111) surface that is patterned by a metal-organic honeycomb network, formed by coordination of dicarbonitrile pentaphenyl molecules with Cu adatoms. Fe atoms landing on the metal surface are mobile and s ...
