We report parallel aligned GaAs nanowires (NWs) with 110 orientation laterally grown on [311]B substrates via the vapor-liquid-solid mode and demonstrate their controllability and growth mechanism. We control the size, density, and site of the lateral NWs by using size- and density-selective Au colloidal particles and Au dot arrays defined by electron-beam lithography. The lateral NWs grow only along the [110] and [Formula: see text] directions and formation of the stable facets of (111)B and (001) on the sides of the lateral NWs is crucial for lateral NW growth. We clarify the growth mechanism by comparing the growth results on [311]B, (311)A, and (001) substrates and the surface energy change of lateral and freestanding NWs.

Article Synopsis
- Cylindrical magnetic nanowires (NWs) are super small wires that scientists are excited about for making new electronics and sensors.
- Researchers developed a new way to look at the tiny magnetic features in these nanowires without damaging them, which helps see details smaller than 50 nanometers.
- They found interesting magnetic patterns in the nanowires that traditional methods couldn’t see, and they studied how these patterns affect the magnetic fields around them using special sensors.

An experimental characterization of cupric oxide nanowire (CuO NW) growth from thermally oxidized, microstructured Cu thin films is performed. We have systematically studied the influence of the thickness and dimension of Cu layers on the synthesis of CuO NW. The objective was to determine the optimum Cu geometries for increased CuO NWs growth to bridge the gap between adjacent Cu structures directly on the chip for gas sensing applications.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed a method to directly pattern oriented molybdenum telluride (MoTe) nanowires (NWs) for use in connecting two-dimensional (2D) devices, overcoming prior limitations of only achieving isotropic growth.
- * The study involved high-resolution imaging and in-situ electrical biasing to analyze how these NWs convert from MoTe in specific directions due to localized heating effects.
- * This technique also resulted in improved electrical performance with low Schottky barriers and contact resistance, showcasing its potential for flexible nanoelectronics.

Axially heterostructured nanowires (NWs) constitute a promising platform for advanced electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices. The presence of different materials in these NWs introduces a mismatch resulting in complex strain distributions susceptible of changing the band gap and carrier mobility. The growth of these NWs presents challenges related to the reservoir effect in the catalysts droplet that affect to the junction abruptness, and the occurrence of undesired lateral growth creating core-shell heterostructures that introduce additional strain.
