Evolution of Wurtzite Structured GaAs Shells Around InAs Nanowire Cores
نویسندگان
چکیده
GaAs was radially deposited on InAs nanowires by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition and resultant nanowire heterostructures were characterized by detailed electron microscopy investigations. The GaAs shells have been grown in wurtzite structure, epitaxially on the wurtzite structured InAs nanowire cores. The fundamental reason of structural evolution in terms of material nucleation and interfacial structure is given.

Electronic properties of core-shell nanowire resonant tunneling diodes
The electronic sub-band structure of InAs/InP/InAs/InP/InAs core-shell nanowire resonant tunneling diodes has been investigated in the effective mass approximation by varying the core radius and the thickness of the InP barriers and InAs shells. A top-hat, double-barrier potential profile and optimal energy configuration are obtained for core radii and surface shells >10 nm, InAs middle shells ...
متن کاملA luminescence study of doping effects in InP- based radial nanowire structures
We have used micro-photoand cathodo-luminescence at low temperatures to study the effects of sulphur doping in InP and radial InP/InAs/InP structured nanowires. Samples with pure wurtzite crystal structure, with modulated wurtzite/zincblende crystal structure and with different radial InAs growth times were investigated. We observed a doping concentration gradient along the nanowires, the locat...
متن کاملNanowire-Induced Wurtzite InAs Thin Film on Zinc-Blende InAs Substrate
2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag Gmb Synthesis of materials with a desired crystal structure is a major challenge in materials engineering. Single-crystal thin films grown by epitaxy typically adopt the same crystal structure as that of their substrates. Here, we report on the observation of a wurtzite InAs thin-film structure on a zinc-blende InAs substrate. Electron-backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and tr...
متن کاملAngle-dependent magnetotransport in GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires.
We study the impact of the direction of magnetic flux on the electron motion in GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires. At small tilt angles, when the magnetic field is aligned nearly parallel to the nanowire axis, we observe Aharonov-Bohm type h/e flux periodic magnetoconductance oscillations. These are attributed to transport via angular momentum states, formed by electron waves within the InAs shell...
متن کاملEvolution of morphology and microstructure of GaAs/GaSb nanowire heterostructures
In this paper, we successfully grow GaAs/GaSb core-shell heterostructure nanowires (NWs) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The as-grown GaSb shell layer forms a wurtzite structure instead of the zinc blende structure that has been commonly reported. Meanwhile, a bulgy GaSb nanoplate also appears on top of GaAs/GaSb core-shell NWs and possesses a pure zinc blende phase. The growth mode for core-s...
