“…Recently, oriented one-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures, such as nanowires (NWs) and nanorods, have attracted signicant research interest due to their potential application as building blocks in many opto-electronic devices, such as photovoltaics, [1][2][3][4] light-emitting diodes (LEDs), [5][6][7][8] eld effect transistors (FETs), [9][10][11][12] nanolasers, [13][14][15] and electric generators. 16,17 Moreover, the carrier diffusion coefficient and electron recombination time of the ordered 1D nanostructure were found to be larger than those for polycrystalline lms, which in turn remarkably increased the diffusion length of the minority carrier.…”
