Growth of high quality, epitaxial InSb nanowires

چکیده
The growth of InSb nanowires on an InSb(1 1 1) substrate in a closed system is described. A high density InSb nanowires was grown by the use of InSb substrates in a torch sealed quartz tube at a temperature of 400 1C, using a 60 nm size gold colloid catalyst. The typical diameter of the InSb nanowires was 80–200 nm and they consisted of nearly equal atomic percent of In and Sb. Transmission electron microscopy showed the wires to be single crystal, with a growth direction of /1 1 0S. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 81.10. h; 81.10.Bk; 81.07.Vb; 81.05.Ea

متن کاملCan antimonide-based nanowires form wurtzite crystal structure?
The epitaxial growth of antimonide-based nanowires has become an attractive subject due to their interesting properties required for various applications such as long-wavelength IR detectors. The studies conducted on antimonide-based nanowires indicate that they preferentially crystallize in the zinc blende (ZB) crystal structure rather than wurtzite (WZ), which is common in other III-V nanowir...
متن کاملFormation of long single quantum dots in high quality InSb nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy.
We report on realization and transport spectroscopy study of single quantum dots (QDs) made from InSb nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The nanowires employed are 50-80 nm in diameter and the QDs are defined in the nanowires between the source and drain contacts on a Si/SiO2 substrate. We show that highly tunable QD devices can be realized with the MBE-grown InSb nanowires and th...
متن کاملInAs-mediated growth of vertical InSb nanowires on Si substrates
In this work, InSb nanowires are grown vertically on Si (111) with metal organic chemical vapor deposition using InAs as seed layer, instead of external metal catalyst. Two groups of InSb nanowires are fabricated and characterized: one group presents Indium droplets at the nanowire's free end, while the other, in contrast, ends without Indium droplet but with pyramid-shaped InSb. The indium-dro...
متن کاملAg-assisted CBE growth of ordered InSb nanowire arrays.
We present growth studies of InSb nanowires grown directly on [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] substrates. The nanowires were synthesized in a chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) system and are of cubic zinc blende structure. To initiate nanowire nucleation we used lithographically positioned silver (Ag) seed particles. Up to 87% of the nanowires nucleate at the lithographically pre-defined ...
