Spectroscopic study of wemple-didomenico empirical formula and taucs model to determine the optical band gap of dye-doped polymer based on chitosan: Common poppy dye as a novel approach to reduce the optical band gap of biopolymer. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 325:125142. [PMID: 39299078 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2024.125142] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 08/03/2024] [Accepted: 09/12/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the effect of a natural dye extracted from common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) waste flowers on the optical properties of chitosan (CS) films. The extraction of natural dyes from waste flowers can be considered a new field for research in green chemistry. CS films are flexible and biodegradable but have low optical activity and band gap, limiting their applications in optical devices. The doped CS polymer with different concentrations of Papaver rhoeas dye exhibited enhanced optical properties. Also, 30 % glycerol was added as a plasticizer to omit film brittleness. The FTIR examinations is helpful to propose a mechanism that explains the interaction of the dye with the host polymer. The UV-vis spectroscopic examination establish that the optical characteristics of the films can be modified by adjusting the dye concentration. Furthermore, optical absorption properties are described using the Tauc non-direct transition model, revealing an approximate optical band gap of 1.64 eV. This band gap defines the energy required for electron transitions, elucidating the material's electronic characteristics. The extinction coefficient (k) and refractive index (n) of the CS-doped films' shows a dispersion behavior at visible regions of EM radiation. The Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator model was used to investigate the n dispersion and determine the oscillator energy equivalent to the optical band gap. Additionally, calculations have been performed on optical dielectric properties and optical conductivity. The Urbach energy was measured and used to detect the structure of the films. The findings underscore the potential applications of these natural dye-doped CS films in eco-friendly materials and optical devices.

Abstract
Nanomechanical resonators can serve as ultrasensitive, miniaturized force probes. While vertical structures such as nanopillars are ideal for this purpose, transducing their motion is challenging. Pillar-based photonic crystals (PhCs) offer a potential solution by integrating optical transduction within the pillars. However, achieving high-quality PhCs is hindered by inefficient vertical light confinement. Here, we present a full-silicon photonic crystal cavity based on nanopillars as a platform for applications in force sensing and biosensing areas. Its unit cell consists of a silicon pillar with a larger diameter at its top portion than at the bottom, which allows vertical light confinement and an energy band gap in the near-infrared range for transverse-magnetic polarization. We experimentally demonstrate optical cavities with Q factors exceeding 103, constructed by inserting a defect within a periodic arrangement of this type of pillars. Each nanopillar naturally behaves as a nanomechanical cantilever, making the fabricated geometries excellent optomechanical (OM) photonic crystal cavities in which the mechanical motion of each nanopillar composing the cavity can be optically transduced. These geometries display enhanced mechanical properties, cost-effectiveness, integration possibilities, and scalability. They also present an alternative in front of the widely used suspended Si beam OM cavities made on silicon-on-insulator substrates.

Abstract
Due to quasi-one-dimensional confinement, nanowires possess unique electronic properties, which can promote specific device architectures. However, nanowire growth presents paramount challenges, limiting the accessible crystal structures and elemental compositions. Here we demonstrate solid-state topotactic exchange that converts wurtzite InAs nanowires into Zintl Eu3In2As4. Molecular-beam-epitaxy-based in situ evaporation of Eu and As onto InAs nanowires results in the mutual exchange of Eu from the shell and In from the core. Therefore, a single-phase Eu3In2As4 shell grows, which gradually consumes the InAs core. The mutual exchange is supported by the substructure of the As matrix, which is similar across the wurtzite InAs and Zintl Eu3In2As4 and therefore is topotactic. The Eu3In2As4 nanowires undergo an antiferromagnetic transition at a Néel temperature of ~6.5 K. Ab initio calculations confirm the antiferromagnetic ground state and classify Eu3In2As4 as a C2T axion insulator, hosting both chiral hinge modes and unpinned Dirac surface states. The topotactic mutual-exchange nanowire growth will, thus, enable the exploration of intricate magneto-topological states in Eu3In2As4 and potentially in other exotic compounds.

Abstract
As semiconductor devices approach dimensions at the atomic scale, controlling the compositional grading across heterointerfaces becomes paramount. Particularly in nanowire axial heterostructures, which are promising for a broad spectrum of nanotechnology applications, the achievement of sharp heterointerfaces has been challenging owing to peculiarities of the commonly used vapor-liquid-solid growth mode. Here, the grading of Al across GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs heterostructures in self-catalyzed nanowires is studied, aiming at finding the limits of the interfacial sharpness for this technologically versatile material system. A pulsed growth mode ensures precise control of the growth mechanisms even at low temperatures, while a semiempirical thermodynamic model is derived to fit the experimental Al-content profiles and quantitatively describe the dependences of the interfacial sharpness on the growth temperature, the nanowire radius, and the Al content. Finally, symmetrical Al profiles with interfacial widths of 2-3 atomic planes, at the limit of the measurement accuracy, are obtained, outperforming even equivalent thin-film heterostructures. The proposed method enables the development of advanced heterostructure schemes for a more effective utilization of the nanowire platform; moreover, it is considered expandable to other material systems and nanostructure types.

Abstract
A poly(luminol-o-anisidine-o-toluidine) terpolymer was synthesized, characterized, and modified with GNPs and ZnO NPs. The nanocomposites were then examined for their electroactivity and potential use as cationic electrochemical sensors for detecting Sb3+ ions in phosphate buffer on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE). Among the different compositions and the terpolymer, the GCE adapted with the PLAT/ZnO/GNPs-5% nanocomposite displayed the highest current response. The fabricated nanocomposite sensor exhibited high sensitivity, with a value of 21.4177 μA μM-1 cm-2, and a low detection limit of 95.42 pM. The analytical performance of the sensor was evaluated over the linear dynamic range (LDR) of 0.1 nM to 0.01 mM. The proposed sensor is effective in detecting and measuring carcinogenic Sb3+ ions in real environmental samples using an electrochemical approach, making it a promising tool for environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and therefore pose a significant threat to human health. Cardiac electrophysiology plays a crucial role in the investigation and treatment of CVDs, including arrhythmia. The long-term and accurate detection of electrophysiological activity in cardiomyocytes is essential for advancing cardiology and pharmacology. Regarding the electrophysiological study of cardiac cells, many micronano bioelectric devices and systems have been developed. Such bioelectronic devices possess unique geometric structures of electrodes that enhance quality of electrophysiological signal recording. Though planar multielectrode/multitransistors are widely used for simultaneous multichannel measurement of cell electrophysiological signals, their use for extracellular electrophysiological recording exhibits low signal strength and quality. However, the integration of three-dimensional (3D) multielectrode/multitransistor arrays that use advanced penetration strategies can achieve high-quality intracellular signal recording. This review provides an overview of the manufacturing, geometric structure, and penetration paradigms of 3D micronano devices, as well as their applications for precise drug screening and biomimetic disease modeling. Furthermore, this review also summarizes the current challenges and outlines future directions for the preparation and application of micronano bioelectronic devices, with an aim to promote the development of intracellular electrophysiological platforms and thereby meet the demands of emerging clinical applications.

Abstract
As an alternative to traditional photolithography, printing processes are widely explored for the patterning of customizable devices. However, to date, the majority of high-resolution printing processes for functional nanomaterials are additive in nature. To complement additive printing, there is a need for subtractive processes, where the printed ink results in material removal, rather than addition. In this study, a new subtractive patterning approach that uses electrohydrodynamic-jet (e-jet) printing of acid-based inks to etch nanoscale zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films deposited using atomic layer deposition (ALD) is introduced. By tuning the printing parameters, the depth and linewidth of the subtracted features can be tuned, with a minimum linewidth of 11 µm and a tunable channel depth with ≈5 nm resolution. Furthermore, by tuning the ink composition, the volatility and viscosity of the ink can be adjusted, resulting in variable spreading and dissolution dynamics at the solution/film interface. In the future, acid-based subtractive patterning using e-jet printing can be used for rapid prototyping or customizable manufacturing of functional devices on a range of substrates with nanoscale precision.

Abstract
Metal silicide thin films and nanostructures typically employed in electronics have recently gained significant attention in battery technology, where they are used as active or inactive materials. However, unlike thin films, the science behind the evolution of silicide nanostructures, especially 1D nanowires (NWs), is a key missing aspect. Cux Siy nanostructures synthesized by solvent vapor growth technique are studied as a model system to gain insights into metal silicide formation. The temperature-dependent phase evolution of Cux Siy structures proceeds from Cu>Cu0.83 Si0.17 >Cu5 Si>Cu15 Si4 . The role of Cu diffusion kinetics on the morphological progression of Cu silicides is studied, revealing that the growth of 1D metal silicide NWs proceeds through an in situ formed, Cu seed-mediated, self-catalytic process. The different Cux Siy morphologies synthesized are utilized as structured current collectors for K-ion battery anodes. Sb deposited by thermal evaporation upon Cu15 Si4 tripod NWs and cube architectures exhibit reversible alloying capacities of 477.3 and 477.6 mAh g-1 at a C/5 rate. Furthermore, Sb deposited Cu15 Si4 tripod NWs anode tested in Li-ion and Na-ion batteries demonstrate reversible capacities of ≈518 and 495 mAh g-1 .

Abstract
As the demand for increasingly varied types of 1-dimensional (1D) materials grows, there is a greater need for new methods to synthesize these types of materials in a simple and scalable way. Chemical exfoliation is commonly used to make 2-dimensional (2D) materials, often in a way that is both straightforward and suitable for making larger quantities, yet this method has thus far been underutilized for synthesizing 1D materials. In the few instances when chemical exfoliation has been used to make 1D materials, the starting compound has been a van der Waals material, thus excluding any structures without these weak bonds inherently present. We demonstrate here that ionically bonded crystals can also be chemically exfoliated to 1D structures by choosing KFeS2 as an example. Using chemical exfoliation, antiferromagnetic 1D nanoribbons can be yielded in a single step. The nanoribbons are crystalline and closely resemble the parent compound both in structure and in intrinsic antiferromagnetism. The facile chemical exfoliation of an ionically bonded crystal shown in this work opens up opportunities for the synthesis of both magnetic and non-magnetic 1D nanomaterials from a greater variety of starting structures.

Abstract
Current protein or glucose based biomemristors have low resistance-switching performance and require complex structural designs, significantly hindering the development of implantable memristor devices. It is imperative to discover novel candidate materials for biomemristor with high durability and excellent biosafety for implantable health monitoring. Herein, we initially demonstrate the resistance switching characteristics of a nonvolatile memristor in a configuration of Pt/AlOOH/ITO consisting of biocompatible AlOOH nanosheets sandwiched between a Indium Tin Oxides (ITO) electrode and a platinum (Pt) counter-electrode. The hydrothermally synthesized AlOOH nanosheets have excellent biocompatibility as confirmed through the Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) tests. Four discrete resistance levels are achieved in this assembled device in responsible to different compliance currents (ICC) for the set process, where the emerging multilevel states show high durability over 103 cycles, outperforming the protein-based biomemristors under similar conditions. The excellent performance of the Pt/AlOOH/ITO memristor is attributed to the significant role of hydrogen proton with pipe effect, as confirmed by both experimental results and density functional theory (DFT) analyses. The present results indicate the nonvolatile memristors with great potential as the next generation implantable multilevel resistive memories for long-term human health monitoring.

Abstract
Crystal orientation and strain mapping of an individual curved and asymmetrical core-shell hetero-nanowire (NW) is performed based on transmission electron microscopy. It relies on a comprehensive analysis of scanning nanobeam electron diffraction data obtained for 1.3 nm electron probe size. The proposed approach also handles the problem of appearing twinning defects on diffraction patterns and allows for the investigation of materials with high defect densities. Based on the experimental maps and their comparison with finite element simulations, the entire core-shell geometry including full three-dimensional strain distribution within the curved core-shell NW are obtained. Our approach represents, therefore, a low-dose quasi-tomography of the strain field within a nanoobject using only a single zone axis diffraction experiment. Our approach is applicable also for electron beam-sensitive materials for which performing conventional tomography is a difficult task.

Abstract
Bottom-up production of semiconductor nanomaterials is often accompanied by inhomogeneity resulting in a spread in electronic properties which may be influenced by the nanoparticle geometry, crystal quality, stoichiometry, or doping. Using photoluminescence spectroscopy of a population of more than 11 000 individual zinc-doped gallium arsenide nanowires, inhomogeneity is revealed in, and correlation between doping and nanowire diameter by use of a Bayesian statistical approach. Recombination of hot-carriers is shown to be responsible for the photoluminescence lineshape; by exploiting lifetime variation across the population, hot-carrier dynamics is revealed at the sub-picosecond timescale showing interband electronic dynamics. High-throughput spectroscopy together with a Bayesian approach are shown to provide unique insight in an inhomogeneous nanomaterial population, and can reveal electronic dynamics otherwise requiring complex pump-probe experiments in highly non-equilibrium conditions.

Abstract
In recent years, excessive exploitation and rapid population growth have posed numerous challenges. The climate crisis is deepening because of the unabated use of fossil fuels and the ascendance of greenhouse gas levels, so there is still an urgent need to seek different clean energy sources and electricity generating methods with the purpose of adjusting energy structures and solving environmental problems. In the ubiquitous hydrologic cycle, at least 60 petawatts (1015 W) energy can be supplied, but little of it has yet been utilized. Nowadays, hydrovoltaic intelligence has emerged and exhibited an ecofriendly concept of electricity generation compared with traditional methods with the rise of nanoscience and nanomaterials. Hence, it provides the prospect of upgrading the mode of water energy use, constructing a renewable energy industry, and alleviating environmental issues. In this review, starting by introducing different types of hydrovoltaic effect mechanisms─energy harvesting based on drawing potential of liquids; energy harvesting based on water evaporation, and energy harvesting based on moisture adsorption─we summarize the fabrication processes, material classifications, intelligent applications, and representative advances in detail. Moreover, the future development trends of hydrovoltaic intelligence and the challenges for improvement in electrical output are further discussed.

Abstract
The diagnosis of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases currently relies primarily on invasive procedures like digestive endoscopy. However, these procedures can cause discomfort, respiratory issues, and bacterial infections in patients, both during and after the examination. In recent years, nanomedicine has emerged as a promising field, providing significant advancements in diagnostic techniques. Nanoprobes, in particular, offer distinct advantages, such as high specificity and sensitivity in detecting GI diseases. Integration of nanoprobes with advanced imaging techniques, such as nuclear magnetic resonance, optical fluorescence imaging, tomography, and optical correlation tomography, has significantly enhanced the detection capabilities for GI tumors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This synergy enables early diagnosis and precise staging of GI disorders. Among the nanoparticles investigated for clinical applications, superparamagnetic iron oxide, quantum dots, single carbon nanotubes, and nanocages have emerged as extensively studied and utilized agents. This review aimed to provide insights into the potential applications of nanoparticles in modern imaging techniques, with a specific focus on their role in facilitating early and specific diagnosis of a range of GI disorders, including IBD and colorectal cancer (CRC). Additionally, we discussed the challenges associated with the implementation of nanotechnology-based GI diagnostics and explored future prospects for translation in this promising field.

Abstract
We directly measure the three-dimensional movement of intrinsic point defects driven by applied electric fields inside ZnO nano- and micro-wire metal-semiconductor-metal device structures. Using depth- and spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (CLS) in situ to map the spatial distributions of local defect densities with increasing applied bias, we drive the reversible conversion of metal-ZnO contacts from rectifying to Ohmic and back. These results demonstrate how defect movements systematically determine Ohmic and Schottky barriers to ZnO nano- and microwires and how they can account for the widely reported instability in nanowire transport. Exceeding a characteristic threshold voltage, in situ CLS reveals a current-induced thermal runaway that drives the radial diffusion of defects toward the nanowire free surface, causing VO defects to accumulate at the metal-semiconductor interfaces. In situ post- vs pre-breakdown CLS reveal micrometer-scale wire asperities, which X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) finds to have highly oxygen-deficient surface layers that can be attributed to the migration of preexisting VO species. These findings show the importance of in-operando intrinsic point-defect migration during nanoscale electric field measurements in general. This work also demonstrates a novel method for ZnO nanowire refinement and processing.

Abstract
For self-catalyzed nanowires (NWs), reports on how the catalytic droplet initiates successful NW growth are still lacking, making it difficult to control the yield and often accompanying a high density of clusters. Here, we have performed a systematic study on this issue, which reveals that the effective V/III ratio at the initial growth stage is a critical factor that governs the NW growth yield. To initiate NW growth, the ratio should be high enough to allow the nucleation to extend to the entire contact area between the droplet and substrate, which can elevate the droplet off of the substrate, but it should not be too high in order to keep the droplet. This study also reveals that the cluster growth between NWs is also initiated from large droplets. This study provides a new angle from the growth condition to explain the cluster formation mechanism, which can guide high-yield NW growth.

Abstract
The unique electronic and catalytic properties emerging from low symmetry anisotropic (1D and 2D) metal chalcogenides (MCs) have generated tremendous interest for use in next generation electronics, optoelectronics, electrochemical energy storage devices, and chemical sensing devices. Despite many proof-of-concept demonstrations so far, the full potential of anisotropic chalcogenides has yet to be investigated. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the recent progress made in the synthesis, mechanistic understanding, property modulation strategies, and applications of the anisotropic chalcogenides. It begins with an introduction to the basic crystal structures, and then the unique physical and chemical properties of 1D and 2D MCs. Controlled synthetic routes for anisotropic MC crystals are summarized with example advances in the solution-phase synthesis, vapor-phase synthesis, and exfoliation. Several important approaches to modulate dimensions, phases, compositions, defects, and heterostructures of anisotropic MCs are discussed. Recent significant advances in applications are highlighted for electronics, optoelectronic devices, catalysts, batteries, supercapacitors, sensing platforms, and thermoelectric devices. The article ends with prospects for future opportunities and challenges to be addressed in the academic research and practical engineering of anisotropic MCs.

Abstract
The rapid characterization of nanoparticles for morphological information such as size and shape is essential for material synthesis as they are the determining factors for the optical, mechanical, and chemical properties and related applications. In this paper, we report a computational imaging platform to characterize nanoparticle size and morphology under conventional optical microscopy. We established a machine learning model based on a series of images acquired by through-focus scanning optical microscopy (TSOM) on a conventional optical microscope. This model predicts the size of silver nanocubes with an estimation error below 5% on individual particles. At the ensemble level, the estimation error is 1.6% for the averaged size and 0.4 nm for the standard deviation. The method can also identify the tip morphology of silver nanowires from the mix of sharp-tip and blunt-tip samples at an accuracy of 82%. Furthermore, we demonstrated online monitoring for the evolution of the size distribution of nanoparticles during synthesis. This method can be potentially extended to more complicated nanomaterials such as anisotropic and dielectric nanoparticles.

Wafer-scale integration of GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires on silicon by the single process of self-catalyzed molecular beam epitaxy. NANOSCALE ADVANCES 2023; 5:1651-1663. [PMID: 36926567 PMCID: PMC10012865 DOI: 10.1039/d2na00848c] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2022] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires, typically having 250 nm diameter and 6 μm length, were grown on 2-inch Si wafers by the single process of molecular beam epitaxy using constituent Ga-induced self-catalysed vapor-liquid-solid growth. The growth was carried out without specific pre-treatment such as film deposition, patterning, and etching. The outermost Al-rich AlGaAs shells form a native oxide surface protection layer, which provides efficient passivation with elongated carrier lifetime. The 2-inch Si substrate sample exhibits a dark-colored feature due to the light absorption of the nanowires where the reflectance in the visible wavelengths is less than 2%. Homogeneous and optically luminescent and adsorptive GaAs-related core-shell nanowires were prepared over the wafer, showing the prospect for large-volume III-V heterostructure devices available with this approach as complementary device technologies for integration with silicon.

Abstract
The cylindrical quasi-one-dimensional shape of colloidal semiconductor nanorods (NRs) gives them unique electronic structure and optical properties. In addition to the band gap tunability common to nanocrystals, NRs have polarized light absorption and emission and high molar absorptivities. NR-shaped heterostructures feature control of electron and hole locations as well as light emission energy and efficiency. We comprehensively review the electronic structure and optical properties of Cd-chalcogenide NRs and NR heterostructures (e.g., CdSe/CdS dot-in-rods, CdSe/ZnS rod-in-rods), which have been widely investigated over the last two decades due in part to promising optoelectronic applications. We start by describing methods for synthesizing these colloidal NRs. We then detail the electronic structure of single-component and heterostructure NRs and follow with a discussion of light absorption and emission in these materials. Next, we describe the excited state dynamics of these NRs, including carrier cooling, carrier and exciton migration, radiative and nonradiative recombination, multiexciton generation and dynamics, and processes that involve trapped carriers. Finally, we describe charge transfer from photoexcited NRs and connect the dynamics of these processes with light-driven chemistry. We end with an outlook that highlights some of the outstanding questions about the excited state properties of Cd-chalcogenide NRs.

Abstract
Nanowire-based technological advancements thrive in various fields, including energy generation and storage, sensors, and electronics. Among the identified nanowires, silicon nanowires (SiNWs) attract much attention as they possess unique features, including high surface-to-volume ratio, high electron mobility, bio-compatibility, anti-reflection, and elasticity. They were tested in domains of energy generation (thermoelectric, photo-voltaic, photoelectrochemical), storage (lithium-ion battery (LIB) anodes, super capacitors), and sensing (bio-molecules, gas, light, etc). These nano-structures were found to improve the performance of the system in terms of efficiency, stability, sensitivity, selectivity, cost, rapidity, and reliability. This review article scans and summarizes the significant developments that occurred in the last decade concerning the application of SiNWs in the fields of thermoelectric, photovoltaic, and photoelectrochemical power generation, storage of energy using LIB anodes, biosensing, and disease diagnostics, gas and pH sensing, photodetection, physical sensing, and electronics. The functionalization of SiNWs with various nanomaterials and the formation of heterostructures for achieving improved characteristics are discussed. This article will be helpful to researchers in the field of nanotechnology about various possible applications and improvements that can be realized using SiNW.

Abstract
Artificial photosynthesis can provide a solution to our current energy needs by converting small molecules such as water or carbon dioxide into useful fuels. This can be accomplished using photochemical diodes, which interface two complementary light absorbers with suitable electrocatalysts. Nanowire semiconductors provide unique advantages in terms of light absorption and catalytic activity, yet great control is required to integrate them for overall fuel production. In this review, we journey across the progress in nanowire photoelectrochemistry (PEC) over the past two decades, revealing design principles to build these nanowire photochemical diodes. To this end, we discuss the latest progress in terms of nanowire photoelectrodes, focusing on the interplay between performance, photovoltage, electronic band structure, and catalysis. Emphasis is placed on the overall system integration and semiconductor-catalyst interface, which applies to inorganic, organic, or biologic catalysts. Last, we highlight further directions that may improve the scope of nanowire PEC systems.

Abstract
Precise design and tuning of the micro-atomic structure of single atom catalysts (SACs) can help efficiently adapt complex catalytic systems. Herein, we inventively found that when the active center of the main group element gallium (Ga) is downsized to the atomic level, whose characteristic has significant differences from conventional bulk and rigid Ga catalysts. The Ga SACs with a P, S atomic coordination environment display specific flow properties, showing CO products with FE of ≈92 % at -0.3 V vs. RHE in electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2 RR). Theoretical simulations demonstrate that the adaptive dynamic transition of Ga optimizes the adsorption energy of the *COOH intermediate and renews the active sites in time, leading to excellent CO2 RR selectivity and stability. This liquid single atom catalysts system with dynamic interfaces lays the foundation for future exploration of synthesis and catalysis.

Abstract
One-dimensional nanometer scale-sized materials, such as nanowires, nanotubes, etc., have gradually become new types of structural components, which can be integrated into micro/nano-opto-electromechanical systems. In this paper, optical forces were applied to cut nanowires precisely, which were broken with arbitrary length ratios. The optical force exerted by the optical tweezers proved to be the cause of the fracture of the high-aspect ratio nanowires, and the fracture mechanism of the nanowires was developed. Nanowires of different semiconductor materials were cut with optical tweezers in the experiments. The precise cut with optical tweezers can provide nanowires of appropriate lengths for the construction of nanowire-based structures, which have potential applications for micromachining and microfabrication of micro-electro-mechanical system or semiconductor devices.

Abstract
In high-performance flexible and stretchable electronic devices, conventional inorganic semiconductors made of rigid and brittle materials typically need to be configured into geometrically deformable formats and integrated with elastomeric substrates, which leads to challenges in scaling down device dimensions and complexities in device fabrication and integration. Here we report the extraordinary mechanical properties of the newly discovered inorganic double helical semiconductor tin indium phosphate. This spiral-shape double helical crystal shows the lowest Young's modulus (13.6 GPa) among all known stable inorganic materials. The large elastic (>27%) and plastic (>60%) bending strains are also observed and attributed to the easy slippage between neighboring double helices that are coupled through van der Waals interactions, leading to the high flexibility and deformability among known semiconducting materials. The results advance the fundamental understanding of the unique polymer-like mechanical properties and lay the foundation for their potential applications in flexible electronics and nanomechanics disciplines.

Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has the wide range of applications in industry and living life. However, the development of the efficient heterogeneous catalyst in the direct H2O2 synthesis (DHS) from H2 and O2 remains a formidable challenge because of the low H2O2 producibility. Herein, we develop a two-step approach to prepare PdSn nanowire catalysts, which comprises Pd oxide layered on PdSn nanowires (PdL/PdSn-NW). The PdL/PdSn-NW displays superior reactivity in the DHS at zero Celcius, presenting the H2O2 producibility of 528 mol kgcat−1·h−1 and H2O2 selectivity of >95%. A layer of Pd oxide on the PdSn nanowire generates bi-coordinated Pd, leading to the different adsorption behaviors of O2, H2 and H2O2 on the PdL/PdSn-NW. Furthermore, the weak adsorption of H2O2 on the PdL/PdSn-NW contributes to the low activation energy and high H2O2 producibility. This surface engineering approach, depositing metal layer on metal nanowires, provides a new insight in the rational designing of efficient catalyst for DHS. The development of the efficient catalyst in the direct H2O2 synthesis (DHS) from H2 and O2 remains a formidable challenge. Here, the authors develop a two-step approach to prepare a layer of Pd oxide on PdSn nanowires which displays superior reactivity in the DHS at zero Celcius.

Abstract
Since the emergence of one-dimensional nanostructures, in particular the bandgap-graded semiconductor nanowires/ribbons or heterostructures, lots of attentions have been devoted to unraveling their intriguing properties and finding applications for future developments in optical communications and integrated optoelectronic devices. In particular, the ability to modulate the bandgap along a single nanostructure greatly enhances their functionalities in optoelectronics, and hence these studies are essential to pave the way for future high-integrated devices and circuits. Herein, we focus on a brief review on recent advances about the synthesis through a magnetic-pulled chemical vapor deposition approach, crystal structure and the unique optical and electronic properties of on-nanostructures semiconductors, including axial nanowire heterostructures, asymmetrical/symmetric bandgap gradient nanowires, lateral heterostructure nanoribbons, lateral bandgap graded ribbons. Moreover, recent developments in applications using low-dimensional bandgap modulated structures, especially in bandgap-graded nanowires and heterostructures, are summarized, including multicolor lasers, waveguides, white-light sources, photodetectors, and spectrometers, where the main strategies and unique features are addressed. Finally, future outlook and perspectives for the current challenges and the future opportunities of one-dimensional nanostructures with bandgap engineering are discussed to provide a roadmap future development in the field.

The polymorphism of nanostructures is of paramount importance for many promising applications in high-performance nanodevices. We report the chemical vapor deposition synthesis of Ga2S3 nanowires (NWs) that show the consecutive phase transitions of monoclinic (M) → hexagonal (H) → wurtzite (W) → zinc blende (C) when lowering the growth temperature from 850 to 600 °C. At the highest temperature, single-crystalline NWs were grown in the thermodynamically stable M phase. Two types of H phase exhibited 1.8 nm periodic superlattice structures owing to the distinctively ordered Ga sites. They consisted of three rotational variants of the M phase along the growth direction ([001]M = [0001]H/W) but with different sequences in the variants. The phases shared the same crystallographic axis within the NWs, producing novel core-shell structures to illustrate the phase evolution. The relative stabilities of these phases were predicted using density functional theory calculations, and the results support the successive phase evolution. Photodetector devices based on the p-type M and H phase Ga2S3 NWs showed excellent UV photoresponse performance.

Abstract
In this work, we show the design of a silicon photonic-based polarization converting device based on the integration of semiconduction InP nanowires on the silicon photonic platform. We present a comprehensive numerical analysis showing that full polarization conversion (from quasi-TE modes to quasi-TM modes, and vice versa) can be achieved in devices exhibiting small footprints (total device lengths below 20 µm) with minimal power loss (<2 dB). The approach described in this work can pave the way to the realization of complex and re-configurable photonic processors based on the manipulation of the state of polarization of guided light beams.

Abstract
Optical confusion refers to a camouflage technique assimilated with the surroundings through manipulating colors and patterns. With the advances in multispectral imagery detection systems, multispectral camouflage studies on simultaneous deceptions in the visible to infrared ranges remain a key challenge. Thus, creating pixelated patterns is essential for mimicking background signatures by assimilating both colors and patterns. In this study, a multispectral optical confusion system (MOCS) comprising pixelated silicon-based fractal nanostructures (Si-FNSs) is introduced to realize multispectral optical confusion. We analyzed the fractality of the Si-FNSs to understand the relationships between structural characteristics and optical properties with the aggregation phenomenon. The aggregation phenomenon changes the morphological heterogeneity by up to 38.5%, enabling a controllable range of visible reflectivity from 0.01 to 0.12 and infrared emissivity from 0.33 to 0.90. Visible and infrared colors were obtained by controlling the wet-etching time from 10 to 240 min and temperature from 40 to 100 °C. Finally, the MOCS consisting of pixelated Si-FNSs was designed and created by extracting the pattern from the simultaneously captured visible and infrared background images. Using the artificial backgrounds representing these images, we evaluated and compared the multispectral optical confusion performance of the MOCS with conventional camouflage surfaces.

Abstract
Benefitting from their long carrier diffusion lengths, low trap densities and high carrier mobilities, metal halide perovskites are of great value in the field of energy and optical communications. Herein, we propose a reversible organic cation reaction for (CH3)2CNHCH3PbBr3/CH3NH3PbBr3 core-shell microwires (MWs), in which (CH3)2CNHCH3PbBr3 grow on bulk CH3NH3PbBr3 in acetone and then convert back to CH3NH3PbBr3 on the surface with the action of water. The core-shell MWs present excellent stability for more than 454 days with over 80% humidity. Moreover, the employed core-shell heterostructure significantly increases the photoluminescence lifetime and improves the rise/recovery response. The (CH3)2CNHCH3PbBr3/CH3NH3PbBr3 core-shell heterostructure demonstrates excellent stability and fast response (2.8 ms/0.8 ms), which is anticipated to find comprehensive applications in future optical communication of one-dimensional devices.

Abstract
Vertically aligned silicon nanowire (VA-SiNW) arrays can significantly enhance light absorption and reduce light reflection for efficient light trapping. VA-SiNW arrays thus have the potential to improve solar cell design by providing reduced front-face reflection while allowing the fabrication of thin, flexible, and efficient silicon-based solar cells by lowering the required amount of silicon. Because their interaction with light is highly dependent on the array geometry, the ability to control the array morphology, functionality, and dimension offers many opportunities. Herein, after a short discussion about the remarkable optical properties of SiNW arrays, we report on our recent progress in using chemical and electrochemical methods to structure and pattern SiNW arrays in three dimensions, providing substrates with spatially controlled optical properties. Our approach is based on metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) and three-dimensional electrochemical axial lithography (3DEAL), which are both affordable and large-scale wet-chemical methods that can provide a spatial resolution all the way down to the sub-5 nm range.

Abstract
The growth of crystalline nanoparticles (NPs) generally involves three processes: nucleation, growth, and shape evolution. Among them, the shape evolution is less understood, despite the importance of morphology for NP properties. Here, we propose a symmetry-based kinematic theory (SBKT) based on classical growth theories to illustrate the process. Based on the crystal lattice, nucleus (or seed) symmetry, and the preferential growth directions under the experimental conditions, the SBKT can illustrate the growth trajectories. The theory accommodates the conventional criteria of the major existing theories for crystal growth and provides tools to better understand the symmetry-breaking process during the growth of anisotropic structures. Furthermore, complex dendritic growth is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. Thus, it provides a framework to explain the shape evolution, and extends the morphogenesis prediction to cases, which cannot be treated by other theories.

Abstract
The influence of nanowire (NW) surface states increases rapidly with the reduction of diameter and hence severely degrades the optoelectronic performance of narrow-diameter NWs. Surface passivation is therefore critical, but it is challenging to achieve long-term effective passivation without significantly affecting other qualities. Here, we demonstrate that an ultrathin InP passivation layer of 2-3 nm can effectively solve these challenges. For InAsP nanowires with small diameters of 30-40 nm, the ultrathin passivation layer reduces the surface recombination velocity by at least 70% and increases the charge carrier lifetime by a factor of 3. These improvements are maintained even after storing the samples in ambient atmosphere for over 3 years. This passivation also greatly improves the performance thermal tolerance of these thin NWs and extends their operating temperature from <150 K to room temperature. This study provides a new route toward high-performance room-temperature narrow-diameter NW devices with long-term stability.

Abstract
Abstract
Semiconductor nanowire ordered arrays represent a class of bi-dimensional photonic crystals that can be engineered to obtain functional metamaterials. Here is proposed a novel approach, based on a particle swarm optimization algorithm, for using such a photonic crystal concept to design a semiconductor nanowire-based two-dimensional diffraction grating able to guarantee an in-plane coupling for light trapping. The method takes into account the experimental constraints associated to the bottom-up growth of nanowire arrays, by processing as input dataset all relevant geometrical and morphological features of the array, and returns as output the optimised set of parameters according to the desired electromagnetic functionality of the metamaterial. A case of study based on an array of tapered GaAs-AlGaAs core-shell nanowire heterostructures is discussed.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have shown their potential in isolation of cancer-related biomolecules such as extracellular vesicles (EVs), RNAs, and DNAs for early diagnosis and therapeutic development of diseases. Since the function of inorganic nanowires changes depending on their morphology, previous studies have established strategies to control the morphology and have demonstrated attainment of improved properties for gas and organic compound detection, and for dye-sensitized solar cells and photoelectric conversion performance. Nevertheless, crystallinity and morphology of ZnO nanowires for capturing EVs, an important biomarker of cancer, have not yet been discussed. Here, we fabricated ZnO nanowires with different crystallinities and morphologies using an ammonia-assisted hydrothermal method, and we comprehensively analyzed the crystalline nature and oriented growth of the synthesized nanowires by X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction using high resolution transmission electron microscopy. In evaluating the performance of label-free EV capture in a microfluidic device platform, we found both the crystallinity and morphology of ZnO nanowires affected EV capture efficiency. In particular, the zinc blende phase was identified as important for crystallinity, while increasing the nanowire density in the array was important for morphology to improve EV capture performance. These results highlighted that the key physicochemical properties of the ZnO nanowires were related to the EV capture performance.

Abstract
This paper summarizes some of the essential aspects for the fabrication of functional devices from bottom-up silicon nanowires. In a first part, the different ways of exploiting nanowires in functional devices, from single nanowires to large assemblies of nanowires such as nanonets (two-dimensional arrays of randomly oriented nanowires), are briefly reviewed. Subsequently, the main properties of nanowires are discussed followed by those of nanonets that benefit from the large numbers of nanowires involved. After describing the main techniques used for the growth of nanowires, in the context of functional device fabrication, the different techniques used for nanowire manipulation are largely presented as they constitute one of the first fundamental steps that allows the nanowire positioning necessary to start the integration process. The advantages and disadvantages of each of these manipulation techniques are discussed. Then, the main families of nanowire-based transistors are presented; their most common integration routes and the electrical performance of the resulting devices are also presented and compared in order to highlight the relevance of these different geometries. Because they can be bottlenecks, the key technological elements necessary for the integration of silicon nanowires are detailed: the sintering technique, the importance of surface and interface engineering, and the key role of silicidation for good device performance. Finally the main application areas for these silicon nanowire devices are reviewed.

Abstract
Embedding quantum dots (QDs) on nanowire (NW) sidewalls allows the integration of multi-layers of QDs into the active region of radial p-i-n junctions to greatly enhance light emission/absorption. However, the surface curvature makes the growth much more challenging compared with growths on thin-films, particularly on NWs with small diameters (Ø < 100 nm). Moreover, the {110} sidewall facets of self-catalyzed NWs favor two-dimensional growth, with the realization of three-dimensional Stranski-Krastanow growth becoming extremely challenging. Here, we have developed a novel thermally-driven QD growth method. The QD formation is driven by the system energy minimization when the pseudomorphic shell layer (made of QD material) is annealed under high-temperature, and thus without any restriction on the NW diameter or the participation of elastic strain. It has demonstrated that the lattice-matched Ge dots can be grown defect-freely in a controllable way on the sidewall facets of the thin (∼50 nm) self-catalyzed GaAs NWs without using any surfactant or surface treatment. This method opens a new avenue to integrate QDs on NWs, and can allow the formation of QDs in a wider range of materials systems where the growth by traditional mechanisms is not possible, with benefits for novel NWQD-based optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Bacterial residue is one of the main causes of diseases and economic losses. In recent years, microfabrication technology has inspired the introduction of microstructures on the surfaces of relevant materials to provide antibacterial effects. This antibacterial method has become a popular research topic due to its safety, effectiveness, and stability. However, its exact mechanism is still under debate. In this study, normal force was introduced to bacteria on GaN nanopillars to investigate the mechanical sterilization effects and a computer simulation was conducted. The results show that the normal force induces highly efficient mechanical sterilization of the nanopillars, and their surfaces impede the attachment of bacteria. This study provides insights into the antibacterial effect of nanopillars and offers a potential antibacterial tool with high efficiency.
