ZnO nanowires were grown on 2-μm-thick GaN templates by chemical vapor deposition without employing any metal catalysts. The GaN template was deposited by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on a c-plane sapphire substrate. The diameters of the resulting nanowires were in the range of 40–250nm depending on growth…

Graphene, with its massless linearly dispersing carriers, in the quantum Hall regime provides an instructive comparison to conventional two-dimensional systems in which carriers have a nonzero band mass and quadratic dispersion. We investigate the influence of Landau-level mixing in graphene on Wigner crystal states i…

Abstract Optical second‐harmonic generation (SHG) from ZnO nanowires is investigated in the region around the band gap. Strong multiphoton excited luminescence and SHG appearing together in the spectra from wires are separated and the SHG part is compared to that of a bulk crystal. The spectrum of the effective second…
