Transport Properties of Beam-Deposited Pt Nanowires

چکیده
Pt wires were fabricated by using electron-beam (EB) and Ga focused-ion-beam (FIB) irradiation while providing C5H5Pt(CH3)3 gas through a nozzle. Electron transport properties of the wires were investigated. The resistance of the EB-deposited wires was quite high as deposited but was reduced by 3–4 orders of magnitude after 400–500C annealing. The electron transport of the as-deposited EB-deposited wire was dominated by the variable range hopping and the Coulomb blockade simultaneously, and showed the antilocalization effect after 400C annealing. The electron phase-breaking length in the EB-deposited wire with 400C annealing, which was derived from a theoretical fitting, is ≈10 nm at ≈4 K and increases with decreasing temperature. This means that 10-nm fabrication technology and improvement of coherence length are required for coherent vacuum nanoelectronics.

Fabrication of GaN-based nanoscale device structures utilizing focused ion beam induced Pt deposition
In this work we have demonstrated nanoscale GaN device structures made from individual GaN nanowires and electrical contacts utilizing focused ion beam FIB induced Pt deposition. These GaN nanowires were grown by direct reaction of Ga vapor with NH3 and had diameters ranging from 100 nm to 250 nm and lengths up to 200 m. As-grown nanowires were dispersed on SiO2 coated p++ Si substrate. A 30 ke...

By electron-beam-induced deposition, we have succeeded in the direct fabrication of nanowires of molybdenum oxide (MoOx) and molybdenum carbide (MoC) on a SiO2 substrate set in a scanning electron microscope. In order to prepare MoOx specimens of high purity, a precursor gas of molybdenum hexacarbonyl [Mo(CO)6] is used, mixed with oxygen gas. On the other hand, MoC is grown by mixing H2O gas wi...
متن کاملDisorder effects in focused-ion-beam-deposited Pt contacts on GaN nanowires.
The current-bias (I-V) characteristics at various temperatures, T, of focused-ion-beam (FIB)-deposited Pt contacts on GaN nanowires evolves from low-resistance ohmic (linear I-V) to rectifying as the diameter increases, and both exhibit strongly nonmetallic T-dependence. The small-diameter (66 nm) T-dependent resistance is explained by two-dimensional variable range hopping with a small charact...
متن کاملThe mechanisms of platinum-catalyzed silicon nanowire growth
Platinum (Pt) has beenknown as a catalyst material for vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) synthesis since the mid 1960s with the potential to grow electronic grade silicon nanowires (SiNWs). In contrast to gold-based growth, Pt-catalyzed SiNW synthesis has rarely been studied, most likely due to higher synthesis temperatures and the formation of multiple Pt silicide phases. Here we present the growth of...
