Nanowire arrays have typical distributions of coercive and interaction fields, as revealed in experiments by means of the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method. In an axial applied field, each nanowire is subjected to a state dependent interaction field created by all wires from the array, which strongly influences the switching fields. A mean field model based on Preisach-Krasnosel'skii-Pokrovskii (PKP) hysterons is able to explain the interplay between interactions and critical fields in nanowire arrays and the subtle way in which switching fields are emphasized in FORC diagrams.

The growth and integration of position-controlled, morphology-programmable silicon nanowires (SiNWs), directly upon low-cost polymer substrates instead of postgrowth transferring, is attractive for developing advanced flexible sensors and logics. In this work, a low temperature growth of SiNWs at only 200 °C has been demonstrated, for the first time, upon flexible polyimide (PI) films, via a planar solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS) growth mechanism. The SiNWs with diameter of ∼146 nm can be grown into precise locations on PI as orderly array and with preferred elastic geometry.

Moreover, we fabricated an inversely designed cavity with inline input and output waveguides, which is a new configuration for such cavities. The experimental exceeded 50,000, which was consistent with a simulation.

In this work, we are concerned with zero permittivity materials and a new scheme to design metamaterials for which all components of the dielectric tensor are approximately zero. Our approach involves the alternate layering of many, very thin, slices of two constituent metamaterials, a uniaxial layered medium and a uniaxial nanowire array.

The array serves as the downlink detector for DSOC's primary ground receiver terminal located at Palomar Observatory's 200-inch Hale Telescope. The 64-pixel WSi array comprises four quadrants of 16 co-wound pixels covering a 320-µm diameter active area and embedded in an optical stack.

Metal-halide perovskite nanowire array photodetectors based on the solution method are valuable in the field of polarized light detection because of their unique one-dimensional array structure and excellent photoelectric performance. However, the limited wettability of liquids poses challenges for achieving large-scale and high-quality perovskite nanowire arrays. To address this issue, we develop a facile method utilizing capillary condensation to grow high-quality centimeter-scale perovskite nanowire arrays.
