Electronically stabilized nanowire growth.
Metallic nanowires show unique physical properties owing to their one-dimensional nature. Many of these unique properties are intimately related to electron-electron interactions, which have a much more prominent role in one dimension than in two or three dimensions. Here we report the direct visualization of quantum size effects responsible for preferred lengths of self-assembled metallic irid...
متن کاملElectronically Stabilized Nonplanar Phenalenyl Radical and Its Planar Isomer.
Stable phenalenyl radicals have great potential as the basis for new materials for applications in the field of molecular electronics. In particular, electronically stabilized phenalenyl species that do not require steric shielding are molecules of fundamental interest, but are notoriously difficult to synthesize. Herein, the synthesis and characterization of two phenalenyl-type cations is repo...
متن کاملAnomalous decay of electronically stabilized lead mesas on Ni(111).
With their low surface free energy, lead films tend to wet surfaces. However, quantum size effects (QSE) often lead to islands with distinct preferred heights. We study thin lead films on Ni(111) using low energy electron microscopy and selected area low energy electron diffraction. Indeed, the grown lead mesas show distinct evidence for QSE's. At about 526 K metastable mesas reshape into hemis...
متن کاملStabilized TiN nanowire arrays for high-performance and flexible supercapacitors.
Metal nitrides have received increasing attention as electrode materials for high-performance supercapacitors (SCs). However, most of them are suffered from poor cycling stability. Here we use TiN as an example to elucidate the mechanism causing the capacitance loss. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses revealed that the instability is due to the irreversible electrochemical oxidation of T...
متن کاملControlling Nanowire Growth by Light.
Individual Au catalyst nanoparticles are used for selective laser-induced chemical vapor deposition of single germanium nanowires. Dark-field scattering reveals in real time the optical signatures of all key constituent growth processes. Growth is initially triggered by plasmonic absorption in the Au catalyst, while once nucleated the growing Ge nanowire supports magnetic and electric resonance...
