Engineering island-chain silicon nanowires via a droplet mediated Plateau-Rayleigh transformation

Engineering island-chain silicon nanowires via a droplet mediated Plateau-Rayleigh transformation

The ability to program periodic morphology into nanowires affords control over photonic and electronic transport properties. Here, the authors stimulate Plateau-Rayleigh transformations in silicon nanowires through an oscillating catalyst droplet, resulting in nanowires with island-chain morphology.
