Enhanced photocurrent is demonstrated in a junction-less photodetector with nanowires embedded in its channel. The fabricated photodetector consists of a large area for efficient absorption of incident light with energy band engineering achieved in nanowires. The structure design consists of a set of two symmetrically positioned gates, primary and secondary, that are located over the nanowires. Each gate is used for biasing and control of the charge flow. We find that detectors with narrower nanowires controlled by their secondary gate generate larger photocurrents under similar illumination conditions. Our results show that while the dark current remains the same, the photocurrent increases as the nanowire width decreases.

We demonstrate an efficient core-shell GaAs/AlGaAs nanowire photodetector operating at room temperature. The design of this nanoscale detector is based on a type-I heterostructure combined with a metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) radial architecture, i
n which built-in electric fields at the semiconductor heterointerface and at the metal/semiconductor Schottky contact promote photogenerated charge separation, enhancing photosensitivity. The spectral photoconductive response shows that the nanowire supports resonant optical modes in the near-infrared region, which lead to large photocurrent density in agreement with the predictions of electromagnetic and transport computational models. The single nanowire photodetector shows remarkable peak photoresponsivity of 0.57 A/W, comparable to large-area planar GaAs photodetectors on the market, and a high detectivity of 7.2 10^10 cmsqrt{Hz}/W at {lambda}=855 nm. This is promising for the design of a new generation of highly sensitive single nanowire photodetectors by controlling optical mode confinement, bandgap, density of states, and electrode engineering.
Semiconductor nanowires provide an ideal platform for various low-dimensional quantum devices. In particular, topological phases of matter hosting non-Abelian quasi-particles can emerge when a semiconductor nanowire with strong spin-orbit coupling is
brought in contact with a superconductor. To fully exploit the potential of non-Abelian anyons for topological quantum computing, they need to be exchanged in a well-controlled braiding operation. Essential hardware for braiding is a network of single-crystalline nanowires coupled to superconducting islands. Here, we demonstrate a technique for generic bottom-up synthesis of complex quantum devices with a special focus on nanowire networks having a predefined number of superconducting islands. Structural analysis confirms the high crystalline quality of the nanowire junctions, as well as an epitaxial superconductor-semiconductor interface. Quantum transport measurements of nanowire hashtags reveal Aharonov-Bohm and weak-antilocalization effects, indicating a phase coherent system with strong spin-orbit coupling. In addition, a proximity-induced hard superconducting gap is demonstrated in these hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowires, highlighting the successful materials development necessary for a first braiding experiment. Our approach opens new avenues for the realization of epitaxial 3-dimensional quantum device architectures.
Both axial and radial junction nanowire solar cells have their challenges and advantages. However, so far, there is no review that explicitly provides a detailed comparative analysis of both axial and radial junction solar cells. This article reviews
some of the recent results on axial and radial junction nanowire solar cells with an attempt to perform a comparative study between the optical and device behavior of these cells. In particular, we start by reviewing different results on how the absorption can be tuned in axial and radial junction solar cells. We also discuss results on some of the critical device concepts that are required to achieve high efficiency in axial and radial junction solar cells. We include a section on new device concepts that can be realized in nanowire structures. Finally, we conclude this review by discussing a few of the standing challenges of nanowire solar cells.
The Josephson effect describes supercurrent flowing through a junction connecting two superconducting leads by a thin barrier [1]. This current is driven by a superconducting phase difference $phi$ between the leads. In the presence of chiral and tim
e reversal symmetry of the Cooper pair tunneling process [2] the current is strictly zero when $phi$ vanishes. Only if these underlying symmetries are broken the supercurrent for $phi=0$ may be finite [3-5]. This corresponds to a ground state of the junction being offset by a phase $phi_{0}$, different from 0 or $pi$. Here, we report such a Josephson $phi_{0}$-junction based on a nanowire quantum dot. We use a quantum interferometer device in order to investigate phase offsets and demonstrate that $phi_{0}$ can be controlled by electrostatic gating. Our results have possible far reaching implications for superconducting flux and phase defined quantum bits as well as for exploring topological superconductivity in quantum dot systems.
Classically coherent dynamics analogous to those of quantum two-level systems are studied in the setting of force sensing. We demonstrate quantitative control over the coupling between two orthogonal mechanical modes of a nanowire cantilever, through
measurement of avoided crossings as we deterministically position the nanowire inside an electric field. Furthermore, we demonstrate Rabi oscillations between the two mechanical modes in the strong coupling regime. These results give prospects of implementing coherent two-mode control techniques for force sensing signal enhancement.
