Nanostructured materials for photon detection. (2010, positive): “The optical-antenna concept has been deployed in purely dielectric structures as well: a nanowire Ge photodetector and its dependence on wavelength and polarization were explored in the framework of leaky resonant modes that allow coupling of optical-wavelength-scale excitations to subwavelength cav”
Optically resonant dielectric nanostructures (2016, background): “Figure 6A shows a single semiconductor nanowire photodetector that capitalizes on its optical resonances to achieve an absorption cross section sabs that exceeds its geometric cross section sgeom (97, 98).”
III–V nanowire photovoltaics: Review of design for high efficiency (2013, background): “Resonant absorption has been observed in single nanowires lying horizontally on a substrate [111, 112].”
Sub-diffractional volume-confined polaritons in the natural hyperbolic material hexagonal boron nitride (2014, background): “owever, the positions of the resonant peaks were different for each sample. In order to test a possible scaling behavior, we have plotted these frequencies as a function of the aspect ratio L@ç/í. (3) Remarkably, the entire data have been found to cluster along a set of well-defined smooth curves in”
Doping of semiconductor nanowires (2011, background): “For these reasons, many research groups are now working on NW-based solar cells using various designs and materials [9-12, 25-34].”
Nanowire Solar Cells (2011, background): “An additional complicating factor is that the radial junction nanowires had a significantly (almost twofold) larger diameter, possibly enabling higher-order leaky-mode resonances to increase the absorption more than expected from a simple Beer’s law calculation, as observed experimentally and theore”
