    InN nanowires: Growth and optoelectronic properties
    (Basel : MDPI AG, 2012) Calarco, R.
    An overview on InN nanowires, fabricated using either a catalyst-free molecular beam epitaxy method or a catalyst assisted chemical vapor deposition process, is provided. Differences and similarities of the nanowires prepared using the two techniques are presented. The present understanding of the growth and of the basic optical and transport properties is discussed.

    Dynamics of indirect exciton transport by moving acoustic fields
    (Bristol : IOP, 2014) Violante, A.; Cohen, K.; Lazić, S.; Hey, R.; Rapaport, R.; Santos, P.V.
    We report on the modulation of indirect excitons (IXs) as well as their transport by moving periodic potentials produced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The potential modulation induced by the SAW strain modifies both the band gap and the electrostatic field in the quantum wells confining the IXs, leading to changes in their energy. In addition, this potential captures and transports IXs over several hundreds of μm. While the IX packets keep to a great extent their spatial shape during transport by the moving potential, the effective transport velocity is lower than the SAW group velocity and increases with the SAW amplitude. This behavior is attributed to the capture of IXs by traps along the transport path, thereby increasing the IX transit time. The experimental results are well-reproduced by an analytical model for the interaction between trapping centers and IXs during transport.
