Schottky Barriers Based on Nanoporous InP with Gold Nanoparticles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Schottky barrier structures based on nanoporous InP with inclusion of Au nanoparticles and evaporated semitransparent Au film have been made. The spectra of short-circuit photocurrent in the visible range and current-voltage characteristics have been measured. Prepared structures are characterized by increased photocurrent due to the microrelief interface and surface plasmon excitation in gold nanoparticles as well as increased surface recombination especially in the short wavelength region.

Graphite/InP and graphite/GaN Schottky barriers with electrophoretically deposited Pd or Pt nanoparticles for hydrogen detection
Large attention has been devoted worldwide to the investigation of hydrogen sensors based on various Schottky diodes. We prepared graphite semimetal Schottky contacts on polished n-InP and n-GaN wafers partly covered with nanoparticles of catalytic metals Pd or Pt by applying colloidal graphite. Metal nanoparticles were deposited electrophoretically from colloids prepared beforehand. Deposited ...
متن کاملSynthesis of gold nanoparticles: a new approach in using a nanoporous membrane in conjunction with ultrasonication
Gold nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical reduction of HAuCl4 inside the pores of a polycarbonate-based membrane followed by dissolving the membrane in dichloromethane and further sonication. Sonication time as the main affecting factor on the nanoparticle size was investigated. The characterization by transmission electron microscopy showed the formation of gold nanoparticles with diamet...

Semiconducting, insulating, and metallic nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest due to their size-dependent, quantum confinement characteristics, which make them attractive for a wide range of optical, magnetic, and electronic devices. We report on the deposition of Pd nanoparticles prepared with reverse micellae of water/AOT/isooctane solution on the surface of n-type InP substrate...
متن کاملEffect of Superparamagnetic Fe 3 O 4 Nanoparticles on Schottky Barriers of Graphene
We demonstrated the effect of superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles on Schottky barriers of graphene, in which the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were fabricated by a hydrothermal method and the single-layer graphene sheets were mechanically exfoliated from Kish graphite. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were superparamagnetic with the saturation magnetic moment of about 32 emu/g at room temperature. We have found...
