Currently, controlling the size and dimensionality of nanostructures at the mesoscopic level is one of the most challenging issues faced by researchers. 1-6 Specifically, research on one-dimensional (1D) inorganic nano-and microcrystals has attracted much attention during the past few years because of their fundamental importance in understanding the dependence of properties on the size and dimensionality as well as their novel properties and potential applications in fabricating nanoscale electronic, optoelectronic, and sensing devices. 7-10 Some unique and fascinating properties, such as higher luminescence efficiency, of 1D nanostructures have already been demonstrated. 9 As a result of the quantum confinement effect, 1D nanostructures exhibit distinct optical properties (eg, the shift of band gap energies) when their diameter approaches a critical value. 11 For example, Korgel and co-workers found that the absorption edge of Si nanowires was significantly blue-shifted as compared with bulk silicon (indirect band gap of∼ 1.1 eV) and showed relatively strong “band edge” photoluminescence (PL). 11 Lieber and co-workers reported that there exists a striking anisotropy in PL intensities measured in the direction parallel and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of an individual InP nanowire. 12 In addition, the Yang group has successfully demonstrated room-temperature ultraviolet lasing from arrays of ZnO nanowires grown on a sapphire substrate. 10
