Engineering of Bi2Se3 nanowires by laser cutting

We present a method to control the length and diameter of Bi 2Se3 nanowires through laser-cutting. Nanowires of the topologically insulating and thermoelectric material Bi2Se 3 were grown using the vapor-liquid-solid method, and cut using a 532-nm-laser operating at a minimum power of 1 μW. The cutt...
