A researcher whose team demonstrated control of zinc oxide nanowire shape by changing the solution chemistry during growth. Charged complexes preferentially adsorb on different crystal faces, slowing growth in selected directions. Changing additives and pH therefore changes the ratio of length to width, from plate-like crystals to needles. This supplies a physical mechanism for controlling structure through electrostatic interactions and adsorption, rather than relying only on a fixed growth recipe.[ref]

A researcher who coauthored pyroelectric generator experiments using zinc oxide nanowire arrays. Changing temperature with time changes the material's spontaneous polarization, producing an electrical response. The work explored energy conversion when the whole environment warms or cools, a situation distinct from maintaining a spatial temperature difference across a thermoelectric generator.[ref]
