In modern electronics and optoelectronics,hot electron behaviors are highly concerned,as they determine the performance limit of a device or system,like the associated thermal or power constraint of chips and the Shockley-Queisser limit for solar cell efficiency.To date,however,the manipulation of hot electrons has been mostly based on conceptual interpretations rather than a direct observation.The problem arises from a fundamental fact that energy-differential electrons are mixed up in real-space,making it hard to distinguish them from each other by standard measurements.Here we demonstrate a distinct approach to artificially(spatially) separate hot electrons from cold ones in semiconductor nanowire transistors,which thus offers a unique opportunity to observe and modulate electron occupied state,energy,mobility and even path.Such a process is accomplished through the scanning-photocurrent-microscopy measurements by activating the intervalley-scattering events and 1D charge-neutrality rule.Findings here may provide a new degree of freedom in manipulating non-equilibrium electrons for both electronic and optoelectronic applications.

一五年前,当我接触到王啸峰小说的时候,我立即感到这是一个文学叙述的“怪胎”,面对他“驳杂迷幻”的小说文本叙述,在阅读、接受的层面,很容易就会令人在审美上产生“慌不择路”甚至不知所措的感觉.我想,为此我必须调整自己的阅读方式,或者重新整饬自己的小说理念,以及自己对事物的认知和理解方式,来仔细地面对他的文本.王啸峰两本重要的小说集《隐秘花园》和《浮生流年》,分别由王啸峰的“乡党”汪政和王尧两位江苏籍评论家作序.我在系统地阅读这两本集子时,刻意地先规避这两位评论者对王啸峰小说的判断和评价,我担心我没有“定力”,
