“…In general, nanowire assemblies may have several properties which exceed those of their thin film counterparts [ 1 , 2 ]. These structures benefit from the large aspect ratios (length/diameter) of the constitutive NWs, which generate a strong optical anisotropy in the composite [ 33 ], which can be properly tuned in order to effectively control the light propagation in the medium. Nanowires, moreover, support resonant optical modes which can be tailored and enhanced in order to modulate the reflectance, absorbance and transmittance properties of the arrays [ 9 , 13 , 15 , 34 , 35 ].…”

Ordered arrays of vertically aligned semiconductor nanowires are regarded as promising candidates for the realization of all-dielectric metamaterials and artificial electromagnetic materials, whose properties can be engineered to enable new functions and enhanced device performances with respect to naturally existing materials. In this review we account for the recent progresses in substrate nanopatterning methods, strategies and approaches that overall constitute the preliminary step towards the bottom-up growth of arrays of vertically aligned semiconductor nanowires with a controlled location, size and morphology of each nanowire. While we focus specifically on III-V semiconductor nanowires, several concepts, mechanisms and conclusions reported in the manuscript can be invoked and are valid also for different nanowire materials.
