Femtosecond Laser Used for ZnO Nanowire Synthesis

Daniel S. Burgess

A laser-assisted nanowire growth process reported by scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley, Calif., employs a high-power femtosecond source to reduce the formation of microparticulates in the synthesis of crystalline ZnO nanowires and to yield a narrow size distribution of the structures. Because the method involves a nonequilibrium process, the investigators note, it may enable the production of new structural phases and material compositions for the development of nanowire-based devices. Researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are using a...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
