Remote p-type Doping in GaSb/InAs Core-shell Nanowires

چکیده
By performing first-principles calculation, we investigated the electronic properties of remotely p-type doping GaSb nanowire by a Zn-doped InAs shell. The results show that for bare zinc-blende (ZB) [111] GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowire the Zn p-type doped InAs shell donates free holes to the non-doped GaSb core nanowire without activation energy, significantly increasing the hole density and mobility of nanowire. For Zn doping in bare ZB [110] GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowire the hole states are compensated by surface states. We also studied the behaviors of remote p-type doing in two-dimensional (2D) GaSb/InAs heterogeneous slabs, and confirmed that the orientation of nanowire side facet is a key factor for achieving high efficient remote p-type doping.

Band-inverted gaps in InAs/GaSb and GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowires
The [111]-oriented InAs/GaSb and GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowires have been studied by the 8 × 8 Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian to search for non-vanishing fundamental gaps between inverted electron and hole bands. We focus on the variations of the band-inverted fundamental gap, the hybridization gap, and the effective gap with the core radius and shell thickness of the nanowires. The evolutions of a...
متن کاملFormation of GaAs/GaSb Core-Shell Heterostructured Nanowires Grown by Molecular-Beam Epitaxy
In this paper, we demonstrated the growth of GaAs/GaSb core-shell heterostructured nanowires on GaAs substrates, with the assistance of Au catalysts by molecular-beam epitaxy. Time-evolution experiments were designed to study the formation of GaSb shells with different growth times. It was found that, by comparing the morphology of nanowires for various growth times, lateral growth was taking a...
