Nanowire is a cylindrical nano-structure with nanometer dimensions. In this research, the studied nanowire was made from the magnetic triple Ni-Fe-Co alloy. We utilized ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide as a template for the nanowire deposition. The nanowire arrays were electrodeposited in the cylindrical pores of the oxide layer by AC potential in a simple sulfate bath. Then the relation ...

Piezoelectricity provides an ideal electromechanical mechanism with emerging applications in wearable devices due to its simplicity and self-powered nature. However, the 3D printing of piezoelectric still faces many challenges, including material printability, high energy poling process, low dimensional accuracy. This study demonstrates, for first time, a tellurium nanowire-based device fabrica...

P iezoelectric materials are the key functional component in many devices, such as sensors, actuators, ultrasonic transducers, sonar systems, and energy scavengers. These applications take advantage of the direct or reverse piezoelectric effects caused by simultaneous shifts in positive and negative charge centers within the primitive unit cell in response to mechanical deformation. Ideal piezo...
