Nanoscale cube-on-cube growth of SrS on MgO substrate by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy
We report the growth of epitaxial SrS on (001)MgO substrates by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy. During the deposition, the film structure and orientation were characterized by reflection high-ene...

Observation of laser oscillation in aggregates of ultrasmall silicon nanoparticles
We report laser oscillation at ~610 nm in aggregates of ultrasmall elemental Si nanoparticles. The particles are ultrabright red emitting, dispersed from bulk Si by electrochemistry. The aggregates ar...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes were grown using chemical vapor deposition on the tops of blunt vertical silicon posts in cells having a horizontal gate aperture of conventional field emitter design. We obtained over 1 mA total emission current from a single array, or 0.3 µA per cell at 40 V. In addition to the low voltage operation, the most distinctive differences from conventional field emitter arrays include their stability and the lack of catastrophic arcing without any special sample preparation.
