Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="smll201570198-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A combined and controlled approach called edge‐cutting transfer (E‐CT) is used on page 4140 by Y. Mei, Z. Di, and co‐workers to precisely generate spatially aligned Si/Ge nanoribbons with a designed geometry. The suspended nanoribbons are formed by the selective etching of a buried oxide layer, then a slab of cured PDMS is contacted with the patterned donor source. Pulling away the PDMS cuts the suspended Si/Ge nanoribbons off the substrate in a controllable manner, obtaining Si/Ge nanoribbon arrays on a flexible PDMS substrate. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2h38xxz8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
