Quantum Confinement in Heterostructured Semiconductor Nanowires with Graded Interfaces
In a simple approximation, quantum wires can be modeled by cylinders composed by two semiconductor materials with different energy gaps, A and B, as shown in Fig. 1 (a) and (b), for block-by-block and core-shell wires, respectively. In both cases, the existence of smooth interfaces with thickness w between materials is considered, by assuming that the composition χ of the alloy AχB1-χ varies li...
متن کاملMorphological control of heterostructured nanowires synthesized by sol-flame method
Heterostructured nanowires, such as core/shell nanowires and nanoparticle-decorated nanowires, are versatile building blocks for a wide range of applications because they integrate dissimilar materials at the nanometer scale to achieve unique functionalities. The sol-flame method is a new, rapid, low-cost, versatile, and scalable method for the synthesis of heterostructured nanowires, in which ...
متن کاملCooperativity in the Enhanced Piezoelectric Response of Polymer Nanowires
Multilayered, aligned arrays of organic nanowires show unique advantages in their piezoelectric response. Here, the cooperative, electromechanical mechanism at the base of the enhanced response of aligned arrays of piezoelectric nanostructures in mutual contact is unveiled. An enhancement of the piezoelectric voltage by two orders of magnitude compared with individual nanofibers is demonstrated...
متن کاملVisible light photochemical activity of heterostructured PbTiO3–TiO2 core–shell particles
Heterostructured powders composed of microcrystalline PbTiO3 cores coated with nanostructured TiO2 shells were prepared by a sol–gel method. When exposed to visible light (l 4 420 nm), the heterostructured powder degrades methylene blue at a rate 4.8 times greater than PbTiO3, TiO2, or mechanical mixtures of the phases. The rate at which the heterostructured powder degrades methylene blue depen...
متن کاملEnhanced Electronic Properties of Pt@Ag Heterostructured Nanoparticles
Platinum coated by silver nanoparticles was synthesized, which displays a unique structure where polycrystalline platinum particles are completely encapsulated in continuous monocrystalline silver shells. These particles display accentuated electronic properties, where the silver shells gain electron density from the platinum cores, imparting enhanced properties such as oxidation resistance. Th...
