Analysis of Critical Dimensions for Nanowire Core-Multishell Heterostructures
Critical dimensions for nanowire core-multishell heterostructures are analyzed by using finite-element method based on the energy equilibrium criteria. Results show that the nanowire core-shell heterostructure can sufficiently reduce the strain in the shell and increase the critical shell thickness. The critical dimensions for the nanowire core-multishell heterostructure are determined by the s...
متن کاملCore/multishell nanowire heterostructures as multicolor, high-efficiency light-emitting diodes.
We report the growth and characterization of core/multishell nanowire radial heterostructures, and their implementation as efficient and synthetically tunable multicolor nanophotonic sources. Core/multishell nanowires were prepared by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition with an n-GaN core and InxGa1-xN/GaN/p-AlGaN/p-GaN shells, where variation of indium mole fraction is used to tune emissio...
متن کاملVapor-liquid-solid and vapor-solid growth of phase-change Sb2Te3 nanowires and Sb2Te3/GeTe nanowire heterostructures.
We report the synthesis and characterization of radial heterostructures composed of an antimony telluride (Sb2Te3) core and a germanium telluride (GeTe) shell, as well as an improved synthesis of Sb2Te3 nanowires. The synthesis of the heterostructures employs Au-catalyst-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid (VS) mechanisms. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry indicates that Sb and...
متن کاملOne-dimensional hole gas in germanium/silicon nanowire heterostructures.
Two-dimensional electron and hole gas systems, enabled through band structure design and epitaxial growth on planar substrates, have served as key platforms for fundamental condensed matter research and high-performance devices. The analogous development of one-dimensional (1D) electron or hole gas systems through controlled growth on 1D nanostructure substrates, which could open up opportuniti...
متن کاملDiffusion and Defect Reactions in Isotopically Controlled Semiconductors
Point defects in semiconductors play a decisive role for the functionality of semiconductors. A detailed, quantitative understanding of diffusion and defect reactions of dopants is required for advanced modelling of modern nanometer size electronic devices. With isotope heterostructures which consist of epitaxial layers of isotopically pure and deliberately mixed stable isotopes, we have studie...
