| Description | We had made important progress using superfluid helium droplets: 1) precision engineering of nanoparticle assemblies by use of weak van der Waals forces (manuscript submitted to Nature Communications); 2) controlled generation of angular momentum in superfluid helium droplets by collision with ions (manuscript in preparation for Nature). |
| Exploitation Route | The finding will be disseminated through publications and presentations at conferences. |

| PI Contribution | A collaboration with Prof. Paul Scheier at the University of Innsbruck has been established to explore quantum vortices formed in superfluid helium nanodroplets. Recent discovery made through this collaboration can led to high-impact publications with important contribution to quantum hydrodynamics. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The partner has performed experiments on nanoparticle deposition of helium droplets containing multiple charge nanoparticles. This is important to exclude the possibility that the deposition of nanoparticle arrays generated at Leicester is caused by helium droplets containing multiple charged particles; instead, they are formed by pinning metal nanoparticles to the vortex lines --- this proves that we have successfully generated quantum vortex arrays in a controlled manner, opening up a new avenue for the exploration of quantum fluid dynamics. |
| Impact | A manuscript is in preparation for publication in Nature |

| Title | Controlled generation of nanowires |
| Description | We have developed a new technique to grow nanowires under this EPSRC funding. Our technique will allow the grow nanowires with much improved crystallinity, higher growth rate (two times greater than conventional methods) and reduced self-decoration by nanoparticles. Additionally, we also observed an enhancement of photoluminescence by a factor of 10 compared with nanowires prepared by typically used wet-chemical processes. |
