Compositional variations in In(0.5)Ga(0.5)N nanorods grown by molecular beam epitaxy.
The composition of InxGa1 - xN nanorods grown by molecular beam epitaxy with nominal x = 0.5 has been mapped by electron microscopy using Z-contrast imaging and x-ray microanalysis. This shows a coherent and highly strained core-shell structure with a near-atomically sharp boundary between a Ga-rich shell (x ∼ 0.3) and an In-rich core (x ∼ 0.7), which itself has In- and Ga-rich platelets altern...
متن کاملImaging of thickness and compositional fluctuations in InGaN/GaN quantum wells by scanning capacitance microscopy
We have used scanning capacitance microscopy SCM and atomic force microscopy AFM to characterize structural and electronic properties of InxGa1−xN/GaN quantum-well structures at the nanoscale. Macroscopic capacitance-voltage measurements combined with numerical simulations indicate that either electron or hole accumulation in the quantum-well layer can be induced by application of forward or re...
متن کاملSurface Enhanced Raman Scattering of Crystal Violet with Low Concentrations Using Self-Assembled Silver and Gold-Silver Core-Shell Nanoparticles
The active substrates in surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy were prepared through self-assembly of nanoparticles on functionalized glasses. Colloidal silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared chemically in two different sizes by reduction of AgNO3 using trisodium citrate and sodium borohydride. Gold–silver core–shell nanoparticles were also prepared to compare between the o...
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 کاملInfluence of surface and polarization potentials on the electronic and optical properties of InxGa1−xN/GaN axial nanowire heterostructures
We study the influence of surface and polarization potentials on the electronic properties of axial InxGa1−xN/GaN nanowire heterostructures. Our simulations indicate nontrivial, competing influences of both these potentials on the spatial separation of electrons and holes, which are well suited to explain previous experimental observations.
