J. Phys. Chem. Lett. Perspective video
In this Perspective Video, we discuss how there has recently been much work on using nanowires for various applications. Examples include photodetectors and photovoltaics. One of the main reasons for this stems from the nanowire’s asymmetric shape, which, in principle, facilitates the ready band transport of carriers. As a consequence, effective mobilities should be larger than those of comparable quantum dot devices. At the same time, a less recognized advantage of nanowires over nanocrystals is their sizable absorption cross sections. Namely, circularly polarized nanowire cross sections in the visible are routinely on the order of 10-12 cm2 μm-1 to 10-10 cm2 μm-1 whereas those of dots range from 10-15 cm2 to 10-18 cm2. When scaled for volume differences, best case nanowire cross sections are still larger than those of nanocrystals by roughly an order of magnitude. This could, in turn, offer additional benefits for nanowire-based devices.
