The growth of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) has recently opened new paths to silicon
integration of device families such as light-emitting diodes, high-efficiency photovoltaics, or …

We demonstrate high-temperature thermoelectric conversion in InAs/InP nanowire quantum
dots by taking advantage of their strong electronic confinement. The electrical conductance …

Inter-particle Coulombic electron capture (ICEC) is an environment-enabled electron
capture process by means of which a free electron can be efficiently attached to a system …

Millivolt range thermovoltage is demonstrated in single InAs nanowire based field effect
transistors. Thanks to a buried heating scheme, we drive both a large thermal bias Δ T> 10 K …

A most fundamental goal in spintronics is to electrically tune highly efficient spin injectors
and detectors, preferably compatible with nanoscale electronics and superconducting …

The creation, transfer, and stabilization of localized excitations are studied in a donor–
acceptor Frenkel exciton model in an atomistic treatment of reduced-size double quantum …

The control of orbitals and spin states of single electrons is a key ingredient for quantum
information processing,,,, and novel detection schemes,, and is, more generally, of great …

We use crystal-phase tuning during epitaxial growth of InAs nanowires to create quantum
dots with very strong confinement. A set of gate electrodes are used to reproducibly split the …

We report results on the control of barrier transparency in InAs/InP nanowire quantum dots
via the electrostatic control of the device electron states. Recent works demonstrated that …

We define single quantum dots of lengths varying from 60 nm up to nearly half a micron in
Ge-Si core-shell nanowires. The charging energies scale inversely with the quantum dot …
