Tien Khee Ng presented an invited talk and chaired a Micro/nano Optics, Nanophotonics session at the 6th Conference on Advances in Optoelectronics and Micro/Nano-optics at Nanjing, China (April 23-26, 2017).
Invited-talk Title: Nanowires for Optoelectronic and Solar Water Splitting Applications
Abstract: (Al,In)GaN quantum-disks and nanowires in the ultraviolet regime, and visible/near-infrared regime were implemented to address the hurdles in optical device technologies. The quantum-disks-in-nanowires form quantum-confined double-heterostructures with reduced piezoelectric polarization-fields (kV/cm) compared to planar InGaN quantum-wells (~MV/cm). The large specific area of InGaN axial nanowires further facilitates solar water splitting.
