Substrate has great influences on materials syntheses, properties, and applications. The
influences are particularly crucial for atomically thin 2-dimensional (2D) semiconductors …

This Perspective describes recent progress in the synthesis and optical characterization of
high quality solution-based semiconductor nanowires (NWs). The described solution-phase …

The origin of the size-dependent Stokes shift in CsPbBr3 nanocrystals (NCs) is explained for
the first time. Stokes shifts range from 82 to 20 meV for NCs with effective edge lengths …

The syntheses of strongly anisotropic nanocrystals with one dimension much smaller than
the two others, such as nanoplatelets, are still greatly underdeveloped. Here, we …

Excitons in atomically thin semiconductors necessarily lie close to a surface, and therefore
their properties are expected to be strongly influenced by the surrounding dielectric …

We propose a technique for achieving large improvements in carrier mobilities in 2-and 1-
dimensional semiconductor nanostructures by modifying their dielectric environments. We …

The highly organized structure of M13 bacteriophage was used as an evolved biological
template for the nucleation and orientation of semiconductor nanowires. To create this …

I? rst heard of k· p in a course on semiconductor physics taught by my thesis adviser William
Paul at Harvard in the fall of 1956. He presented the k· p Hamiltonian as a semiempirical …

We have theoretically shown that optical properties of semiconductor nanorods are
controlled by 1D excitons. The theory, which takes into account anisotropy of spatial and …

High-quality, thickness-controlled CdS nanosheets (NSs) have been obtained through the
thermal decomposition of cadmium diethyldithiocarbamate in octadecene. Ensembles with …
