Microwire arrays for infrared polarizers

Single-Crystalline Copper Nanowires Produced by Electrochemical Deposition in Polymeric Ion Track Membranes

“…Electrochemical deposition has been used to synthesize nanomodulated ceramic superlattices, suitable for the occurrence of thickness-dependent quantum optical, electronic, and optoelectronic effects; [1] quantum-confined metal/semiconductor nanocomposites; [2] and copper(I) oxide films. [3] Further representative examples of present developments include copper microwires as a new generation of interconnections in high-performance multichip modules [4] and, with diameters on the nanometer scale, magnetic multilayered wires showing giant magnetoresistence, [5] macroscopic highdensity arrays of parallel nickel needles acting, for example, as infrared polarizers, [6] and superconducting lead nanowires. [7] In several studies, electrodeposition in ion track membranes (template method) has been used to create large twodimensional arrays of wires and tubes of different kinds of metals.…”

“…In conventional conjugated polymers information concerning the generation of triplet excitons and their properties has been inferred from triplet±triplet absorption experiments [3±5] and optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) experiments. [6] Considering the important role the triplet state plays as a nonradiative decay channel which limits the quantum efficiency of fluorescent light emitting diodes (LEDs), it is necessary to obtain information about the energetic position of T 1 and its…”

Study of Variation in Pore Diameter with Etching Rate and Fabrication of Copper Nano/Micro Wires Using Electrodeposition Method

“…One-dimensional nanomaterials such as nanowires and nanotubes have attracted much attention due to their unique properties and their potential applications in many fields such as electronics [5] , magnetism [5][6][7][8] and optics [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]23] . At this nanometric scale, quantum effects are occurs and hence such wires are also called quantum wires.…”

Nickel Plating on Silicon for Fabricating an Infrared Wire-Grid Polarizer

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] One possible application of metal nanowires is IR polarizers. 12) Recent progress in focal plane arrays has promoted needs for durable, low-cost IR polarizers. 13,14) Polarizers for the visible and near-IR regions [15][16][17][18][19] are not usable in the mid-IR region because of optical absorption by constituting materials.…”
