  • Publication number: 20160332869
    Abstract: Block copolymer nanostructures such as nanosheets, nanoribbons, and nanotubes, are provided. The nanotructures are formed by the self-assembly of block copolymers during evaporation of solvent from a sol that has been “disturbed”, either i) by the introduction of relief (e.g. curvature) and/or the inclusion of nanoparticles in the sol; or ii) externally, e.g. by physical deformation of a semi-solid form of the sol, or a combination of internal and external disturbance. The nanostructures have uses in, for example, energy devices, electronics, sensors and drug delivery applications.

  • Patent number: 8203159
    Abstract: A method of fabricating an optoelectronic device, comprising growing an active layer of the device on an oblique surface of a suitable material, wherein the oblique surface comprises a facetted surface. The present invention also discloses a method of fabricating the facetted surfaces. One fabrication process comprises growing an epitaxial layer on a suitable material, etching the epitaxial layer through a mask to form the facets having a specific crystal orientation, and depositing one or more active layers on the facets. Another method comprises growing a layer of material using a lateral overgrowth technique to produce a facetted surface, and depositing one or more active layers on the facetted surfaces. The facetted surfaces are typically semipolar planes.
