Minimal Timing Jitter in Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Petectors
摘要： Using a two-temperature model coupled with the modified time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation, we calculate the delay time τd in the appearance of a growing normal domain in the current-biased superconducting strip after absorption of the single photon. We demonstrate that τd depends on the place in the strip where the photon is absorbed and monotonically decreases with an increasing current. We argue that the variation of τd (timing jitter), connected either with position-dependent response or Fano fluctuations, could be as small as the lowest relaxation time of the superconducting order parameter, approximately ?/kBTc (Tc is the critical temperature of the superconductor), when the current approaches the depairing current.

Improved stability of silver nanowire (AgNW) electrode for high temperature applications using selective photoresist passivation
摘要： Metal nanostructure arrays have been progressed as an alternative to the conventional oxides-based transparent conductive electrodes. Herein, we demonstrate the improved reliability of silver nanowire (AgNW) electrodes by photoresist encapsulation. The incorporation of photoresist followed by photolithography is beneficial to selectively pattern the AgNWs on poly[ether sulfone]. By varying the development or removal time of the ultraviolet (UV)-exposed photoresist, the properties of the AgNWs in the electrode are significantly varied. The optical parameters such as transmittance, haziness, and the yellow index of the electrodes have been extensively studied to reveal the advantage of the selective photoresist patterning. The AgNW electrodes patterned under 120 s of development time explored superior optical and electrical properties with high durability. The electrical properties of the AgNW electrodes at high temperatures (250 °C) demonstrate the photoresist-induced stability as compared to bare samples. Further, the morphological examination after the high temperature treatment reveals the reduced Rayleigh instability effects in 120s developed AgNWs that facilitate the reliability under harsh conditions.

Ultrasensitive LPFG corrosion sensor with Fe-C coating electroplated on a Gr/AgNW film
摘要： This paper presents the first report on an ultrasensitive Fe-C coated long period fiber gratings (LPFG) corrosion sensor with graphene (Gr) and silver nanowire (AgNW) composite as a conductive film for Fe-C electroplating. The Gr/AgNW composite was grown on copper foil, wet transferred and adhered to the curve surface of the fiber optic sensor under atmospheric pressure and heating conditions. For comparison, another Fe-C coated LPFG sensor was prepared with silver nano ink as a conductive film. Both sensors were tested for 72 h in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution with simultaneous measurements of transmission spectrum and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Due to its high optical transparency, the Gr/AgNW composite increased the wavelength sensitivity and service life of a Fe-C coated LPFG sensor by over 90% and 110%, respectively. The effective depth of influence to the evanescent field surrounding the LPFG sensor was 23.6 μm with the silver film and greater than 30 μm with the Gr/AgNW film.

Disentangling topographic contributions to near-field scanning microwave microscopy images
摘要： We develop empirical models to predict the contribution of topographic variations in a sample to near-field scanning probe microwave microscopy (NSMM) images. In particular, we focus on |S11| images of a thin Perovskite photovoltaic material and a GaN nanowire. The difference between the measured NSMM image and this prediction is our estimate of the contribution of material property variations to the measured image. Prediction model parameters are determined from either a reference sample that is nearly free of material property variations or directly from the sample of interest. The parameters of the prediction model are determined by robust linear regression so as to minimize the effect of material property variations on results. For the case where the parameters are determined from the reference sample, the prediction is adjusted to account for instrument drift effects. Our statistical approach is fully empirical and thus complementary to current approaches based on physical models that are often overly simplistic.

Single-Crystal Poly[4-(4,4-dihexadecyl-4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b′]dithiophen-2-yl)- <i>alt</i> -[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4- <i>c</i> ]pyridine] Nanowires with Ultrahigh Mobility
摘要： We fabricated single-crystal poly[4-(4,4-dihexadecyl-4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b']-dithiophen-2-yl)-alt-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo-[3,4-c]pyridine] (PCDTPT) nanowires with ultrahigh mobility using a liquid-bridge-mediated nanotransfer molding method. The structural analysis of the single-crystal PCDTPT nanowires reveals that PCDTPT crystals have a triclinic structure, and the nanowires grow parallel to PCDTPT backbone chains, which provide important insights into its intrinsic charge transport. The single-crystal PCDTPT nanowire exhibits a superior charge carrier mobility of 72.94 ± 18.02 cm2 V-1 s-1 (maximum mobility up to 92.64 cm2 V-1 s-1), which is a record high value among conjugated polymers till date. In the single-crystal PCDTPT nanowire, the backbone chains in the linear structure along the nanowire growth axis lead to strong backbone delocalization, resulting in highly conductive polymer backbones and a drastic increase in charge carrier mobility. In addition, the single-crystal PCDTPT nanowire shows good environmental stability under air conditions compared to small-molecule organic semiconductors.

A novel SiC nanowire aerogel consisted of ultra long SiC nanowires
摘要： SiC nanowire aerogel (SNA) with highly porous 3D nanowire architecture was synthesized by polymer pyrolysis chemical vapor deposition (PPCVD) process to deposit SiC nanowires in the pores of carbon foam, followed by high temperature oxidation of carbon foam. The microstructure of the prepared SNA was characterized by SEM, TEM and a large number of interweaving SiC nanowires with a diameter of 80-100 nm and a length of hundreds of micrometers form the highly porous 3D nanowire architecture of SNA. The prepared SNA possesses the performance combination of ultra-low density (30±7 mg·cm-3), high-temperature oxidation resistance (750 °C), noncombustible and fire resistance property in the fire, excellent thermal insulating property (0.03 W·m-1·k-1 at room temperature in He) and compressive strength of 0.11 MPa, which is applicable as high-temperature heat insulator, ceramic matrix composite, high temperature flue gas filter, fire-proofing material and catalyst carrier.

Ab initio calculation of antimony sulphide nanowire
摘要： We have performed first-principles calculations on orthorhombic antimony sulphide (Sb2S3) nanowire using full-potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method based on the density-functional theory (DFT) as implemented in WIEN2k package to investigate the electronic and optical properties. Engel–Vosko generalized gradient approximation (EV-GGA) is used as exchange-correlation functional. The nanowire is simulated in the [001] direction with vacuum in two directions using supercell method. The results are compared with Sb2S3 bulk in our pervious calculation. We have found that the electronic and optical properties significantly change in Sb2S3 nanowire. The density of state (DOS) for Sb2S3 nanowire calculated is higher than bulk Sb2S3 and from the electronic band structure, the indirect band gap is about 0.12 eV where this value is much lower than Sb2S3 bulk. However, this value is much lower than experimental value. The optical properties including absorption coefficient, reflectivity, refractive index and energy loss function are derived from the calculated complex dielectric for photon energy up to 20 eV to understand the optical behavior of Sb2S3 in one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructure. From analysis, the optical response of Sb2S3 nanowire demonstrate quite interesting optical behavior for one-dimension (1-D) nanostructure. The absorption coefficient for Sb2S3 nanowire is considerably higher in visible light range than Sb2S3 bulk.

One-drop Self-assembly and Size Control of Organic Nonlinear Optical Crystal DSNS Nanowires
摘要： In this study, we demonstrate a one-drop self-assembly method for fabricating nanowires (NWs) of organic second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) material, 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl- stilbazolium 2-naphthalenesulfonate (DSNS). By controlling the parameters of the self-assembly process, we successfully controlled the length of DSNS from a few micrometers to millimeters. The obtained NWs have very high surface quality with surface roughness <150 pm, which is highly beneficial for fabricating integrated optical devices. DSNS NW has the same triclinic crystal structure as that of bulk crystal and exhibits excellent second-order NLO and fluorescent properties, which could provide wide opportunities for on-chip optoelectronic devices and integrated photonic systems. Furthermore, the one-drop self-assembly method only requires reagents in microgram quantities, and thus this method is extremely environment-friendly.

Sol-Gel Template Synthesis and Characterization of Lu2O3:Eu3+ Nanowire Arrays
摘要： Uniform Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowire arrays were successfully prepared by the sol-gel process using anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The as-synthesized nanowires are homogeneous, highly ordered, and dense and have a uniform diameter of ~300 nm defined by the AAO templates. The X-ray diffraction and selected area electron diffraction results show that the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowires have a polycrystalline cubic structure, and the crystallite size of the Lu2O3:Eu3+ nanowires is confined by the AAO template. The nanowires within the AAO template showed good photoluminescence and X-ray-excited optical luminescence performances for Lu2O3:Eu3+. The emission peaks were attributed to the 5D0 → 7FJ transitions of Eu3+ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3).

X-ray Diffraction Analysis of the Angular Stability of Self-Catalyzed GaAs Nanowires for Future Applications in Solar Light Harvesting and Light Emission Devices
摘要： Semiconductor nanowires are a class of materials that recently have gained increasing interest in solar cell applications and light emitting devices. Finding reproducible processing conditions is fundamental for their future mass production. In this work, the stability of individual epitaxial GaAs nanowires (NWs) under molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) processing conditions is studied by means of a time-resolved in-situ micro X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and scanning electron microscopy. Our proposed micro XRD method is a non-destructive characterization technique where individual nano-objects of different dimensions, crystal orientations, and structures are detectable under MBE processing conditions. NWs were grown by self-catalyzed MBE onto pre-patterned Si(111) substrate. When exposed to MBE processing conditions at 610 °C without supply of source material, or with only arsenic supply, we observe evaporation from the facets with no indication of gallium droplet formation. Furthermore, the NWs, which are initially grown perpendicular to the substrate surface become angularly unstable i.e. the NWs tilt and eventually lie down on the substrate surface. Before falling down, our micro XRD data evidenced vibrations/bending of the NWs. Interestingly, when exposed to the original growth conditions which include gallium and arsenic supply, the vibrations/bending are suppressed and the tilting can be reversed. The findings in this paper can also provide insights towards engineering of self-catalyzed GaAs NW growth by removal of parasitic growth objects which inevitably grow together with NWs.
