  • Electrically controlled catalytic nanowire growth based on surface charge density
    Patent number: 9643252
    Abstract: A population of nanowires can be prepared by a method involving electric field catalyzed growth and alteration based on surface charge density.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 1, 2009
    Date of Patent: May 9, 2017
    Assignee: MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
    Inventors: August Dorn, Cliff R. Wong, Moungi G. Bawendi
  • Color selective photodetector and methods of making
    Patent number: 8399939
    Abstract: A photoelectric device, such as a photodetector, can include a semiconductor nanowire electrostatically associated with a J-aggregate. The J-aggregate can facilitate absorption of a desired wavelength of light, and the semiconductor nanowire can facilitate charge transport. The color of light detected by the device can be chosen by selecting a J-aggregate with a corresponding peak absorption wavelength.
    Type: Grant
