Wafer-scale fabrication of mesoporous silicon functionalized with electrically conductive polymers
Manfred May, Mathis Boderius, Natalia Gostkowska-Lekner +4
The fabrication of hybrid materials consisting of nanoporous hosts with conductive polymers is a challenging task, since the extreme spatial confinement often conflicts with the st…
A Mott-Schottky Analysis of Mesoporous Silicon in Aqueous Electrolyte by Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
Manuel Brinker, Patrick Huber
Nanoporosity in silicon leads to completely new functionalities of this mainstream semiconductor. In recent years, it has been shown that filling the pores with aqueous electrolyte…
Polymeric Liquids in Nanoporous Photonic Structures: From Precursor Film Spreading to Imbibition Dynamics at the Nanoscale
Guido Dittrich, Luisa G. Cencha, Martin Steinhart +4
Polymers are known to wet nanopores with high surface energy through an atomically thin precursor film followed by slower capillary filling. We present here light interference spec…
Self-Assembly of Liquid Crystals in Nanoporous Solids for Adaptive Photonic Metamaterials
Kathrin Sentker, Arda Yildirim, Milena Lippmann +8
Nanoporous media exhibit structures significantly smaller than the wavelengths of visible light and can thus act as photonic metamaterials. Their optical functionality is not deter…
