Semiconductor nanowire (NW) lasers are a promising technology for the realisation of coherent optical sources with extremely small footprint. To fully realize their potential as building blocks in on-chip photonic systems, scalable methods are required for dealing with large populations of inhomogeneous devices that are typically randomly distributed on host substrates. In this work two complementary, high-throughput techniques are combined: the characterisation of nanowire laser populations using automated optical microscopy, and a high accuracy transfer printing process with automatic device spatial registration and transfer. In this work a population of NW lasers is characterised, binned by threshold energy density and subsequently printed in arrays onto a secondary substrate. Statistical analysis of the transferred and control devices show that the transfer process does not incur measurable laser damage and the threshold binning can be maintained. Analysis is provided on the threshold and mode spectra of the device populations to investigate the potential for using NW lasers for integrated systems fabrication.

Background: Nanoscale composition of silk defining its unique properties via a hierarchical structural anisotropy has to be analysed at the highest spatial resolution of tens-of-nanometers corresponding to the size of fibrils made of b-sheets, which
are the crystalline building blocks of silk. Results: Nanoscale optical and structural properties of silk have been measured from 100-nm thick longitudinal slices of silk fibers with ~10 nm resolution, the highest so far. Optical sub-wavelength resolution in hyperspectral mapping of absorbance and molecular orientation were carried out for comparison at IR wavelengths 2-10 micrometers using synchrotron radiation. Conclusion: Reliable distinction of transmission changes by only 1-2% due to anisotropy of amide bands was obtained from nano-thin slices of silk.
We compare the characteristics of phase-pure MOCVD grown ZB and WZ InAs nanowire transistors in several atmospheres: air, dry pure N$_2$ and O$_2$, and N$_2$ bubbled through liquid H$_2$O and alcohols to identify whether phase-related structural/surf
ace differences affect their response. Both WZ and ZB give poor gate characteristics in dry state. Adsorption of polar species reduces off-current by 2-3 orders of magnitude, increases on-off ratio and significantly reduces sub-threshold slope. The key difference is the greater sensitivity of WZ to low adsorbate level. We attribute this to facet structure and its influence on the separation between conduction electrons and surface adsorption sites. We highlight the important role adsorbed species play in nanowire device characterisation. WZ is commonly thought superior to ZB in InAs nanowire transistors. We show this is an artefact of the moderate humidity found in ambient laboratory conditions: WZ and ZB perform equally poorly in the dry gas limit yet equally well in the wet gas limit. We also highlight the vital role density-lowering disorder has in improving gate characteristics, be it stacking faults in mixed-phase WZ or surface adsorbates in pure-phase nanowires.
An all-epitaxial approach was demonstrated to create coaxial plasmon laser structures composed of an alumi-num plasmonic metal / SiNx dielectric / InGaN quantum well shell surrounding a p-GaN nanowire core. Strong UV lumi-nescence was observed from a
s-grown vertically-aligned arrays as well as horizontally-aligned nanowires transferred to a transparent carrier wafer.
A key task in the emerging field of bioelectronics is the transduction between ionic/protonic and electronic signals at high fidelity. This is a considerable challenge since the two carrier types exhibit intrinsically different physics and are best s
upported by very different materials types -- electronic signals in inorganic semiconductors and ionic/protonic signals in organic or bio-organic polymers, gels or electrolytes. Here we demonstrate a new class of organic-inorganic transducing interface featuring semiconducting nanowires electrostatically gated using a solid proton-transporting hygroscopic polymer. This model platform allows us to study the basic transducing mechanisms as well as deliver high fidelity signal conversion by tapping into and drawing together the best candidates from traditionally disparate realms of electronic materials research. By combining complementary n- and p-type transducers we demonstrate functional logic with significant potential for scaling towards high-density integrated bioelectronic circuitry.
The thermoelectric properties of a nanoscale germanium segment connected by aluminium nanowires are studied using scanning thermal microscopy. The germanium segment of 168,nm length features atomically sharp interfaces to the aluminium wires and is s
urrounded by an Al$_2$O$_3$ shell. The temperature distribution along the self-heated nanowire is measured as a function of the applied electrical current, for both Joule and Peltier effects. An analysis is developed that is able to extract the thermal and thermoelectric properties including thermal conductivity, the thermal boundary resistance to the substrate and the Peltier coefficient from a single measurement. Our investigations demonstrate the potential of quantitative measurements of temperature around self-heated devices and structures down to the scattering length of heat carriers.
