Abstract

The front cover shows an intriguing way to fabricate organic nanowires with controlled lengths. Both n-type and p-type semiconducting thiophene/phenylene co-oligomers were deposited onto a cleaved potassium chloride surface by the mask-shadowing technique. They grew in epitaxially oriented nanowires with lengths ranging from 5 to 100 μm. Under optical pumping, isolated single nanowires demonstrated axial Fabry-Pérot lasing. Their lasing threshold fluence was reduced with increasing nanowire lengths. More information can be found in the Communication by H. Yanagi et al. on page 625 in Issue 9, 2017 (DOI: 10.1002/cnma.201700137).
