▼a Functionalized nanostructures play a central role of ever-increasing importance in renewable energy applications and researches. There are many forms of nanostructures, most notably of which are nanoparticles and nanowires. The former have great |

▼a For NPs, one major application is next-generation solar cells. Progress has been rapid in increasing the efficiency of energy conversion. However, extraction of the photo-generated charge carriers remains challenging. One key task is to greatly |

▼a First, we used HiNTS to simulate the metal-insulator transition in NP films. Electrons transfer between neighboring NPs via activated hopping when the NP energies differ by more than an overlap energy, but transfer by a non-activated quantum del |

▼a Second, we analyzed charge transport in glassy binary NP films composed of large and small PbSe NPs. In films with small fractions of large NPs, the LNPs act as traps for mobile charge carriers and the carrier mobility decreases with increasing |

▼a Third, we used HiNTS to study the commensuration effects in Nanoparticle FETs (NP-FETs). For the case when the two NP layers closest to the gate are active for transport, our results include the following. (1) We observed the emergence of commen |

▼a First, we explored the potential use of nanowires for energy harvesting purposes. We have demonstrated the feasibility of using ZnO nanowires to harvest both mechanical and low-quality thermal energy in simple, scalable devices. Mechanical harve |
