GaPN/GaP nanowire-polymer matrix: photoluminescence study

Enhanced photoluminescence from porous silicon nanowire arrays

The enhanced room-temperature photoluminescence of porous Si nanowire arrays and its mechanism are investigated. Over 4 orders of magnitude enhancement of light intensity is observed by tuning their nanostructures and surface modification. It is concluded that the localized states related to Si-O bonds and self-trapped excitations in the nanoporous structures are attributed to the strong light ...

InP nanowire/polymer hybrid photodiode.

A novel design is presented for a nanowire/polymer hybrid photodiode. n-InP nanowires are grown directly onto an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode to increase carrier collection efficiency and to eliminate the need for an expensive substrate. Experiments show that an ohmic contact is achieved between the nanowires and the ITO electrode. The nanowires are then enveloped by a high hole mobility co...

Polymer Single-Nanowire Optical Sensor

Although nanowires have attracted much interest in sensing applications, polymer single nanowires for optical sensing, which promises greater versatility and superior performances, remains unexplored. To date, most of these single nanowire devices have been focused on the electrical conductance change when exposed to the species. However, optical detection are highly desired owing to its advant...
