HRTEM assessment of Wurtzite and Zinc-Blende phases in GaAs nanowires for optoelectronic devices
نویسنده
چکیده
1 Semiconductor nanowires have recently attracted a lot of interest as potential building blocks for future electronic and optoelectronic nanodevices. In this work structural and optical properties of semiconductor nanowires are studied by means of high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and photoluminescence (PL) analysis respectively. Several samples of GaAs nanowires grown under different As4 pressures are studied, and the presence of different optoelectronic properties are discussed in relation to the crystalline structures and defects found.

Why does wurtzite form in nanowires of III-V zinc blende semiconductors?
We develop a nucleation-based model to explain the formation of the wurtzite phase during the catalyzed growth of freestanding nanowires of zinc blende semiconductors. We show that in vapor-liquid-solid nanowire growth, nucleation generally occurs preferentially at the triple phase line. This entails major differences between zinc blende and wurtzite nuclei. Depending on the pertinent interface...
متن کاملEvidence for structural phase transitions induced by the triple phase line shift in self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires.
Self-catalyzed growth of GaAs nanowires are widely ascribed to the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism due to the presence of Ga particles at the nanowire tips. Here we report synthesis of self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires by molecular-beam epitaxy covering a large growth parameter space. By carefully controlling the Ga flux and its ratio with the As flux, GaAs nanowires without Ga particles and exh...
متن کاملElectronic and structural characteristics of zinc-blende wurtzite biphasic homostructure GaN nanowires.
We report a new biphasic crystalline wurtzite/zinc-blende homostructure in gallium nitride nanowires. Cathodoluminescence was used to quantitatively measure the wurtzite and zinc-blende band gaps. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy was used to identify distinct wurtzite and zinc-blende crystalline phases within single nanowires through the use of selected area electron diffraction...
متن کاملInternal structure of multiphase zinc-blende wurtzite gallium nitride nanowires.
In this paper, the internal structure of novel multiphase gallium nitride nanowires in which multiple zinc-blende and wurtzite crystalline domains grow simultaneously along the entire length of the nanowire is investigated. Orientation relationships within the multiphase nanowires are identified using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy of nanowire cross-sections fabricated with a ...
متن کاملVibrational, electronic and structural properties of wurtzite GaAs nanowires under hydrostatic pressure
The structural, vibrational, and electronic properties of GaAs nanowires have been studied in the metastable wurtzite phase via Resonant Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron X-ray diffraction measurements in diamond anvil cells under hydrostatic conditions between 0 and 23 GPa. The direct band gap E0 and the crystal field split-off gap E0 + Δ of wurtzite GaAs increase with pressure and their valu...
