  • In situ etching for control over axial and radial III-V nanowire growth rates using HBr.
  • 2014
  • In: Nanotechnology. - : IOP Publishing. - 0957-4484 .- 1361-6528. ; 25:50
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We report on the influence of hydrogen bromide (HBr) in situ etching on the growth of InP, GaP and GaAs nanowires. We find that HBr can be used to impede undesired radial growth during axial growth for all three material systems. The use of HBr opens a window for optimizing the growth parameters with respect to the materials' quality rather than only their morphology. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterization reveals a partial transition from a wurtzite crystal structure to a zincblende upon the use of HBr during growth. For InP, defect-related luminescence due to parasitic radial growth is removed by use of HBr. For GaP, the etching with HBr reduced the defect-related luminescence, but no change in peak emission energy was observed. For GaAs, the HBr etching resulted in a shift to lower photon emission energies due to a shift in the crystal structure, which reduced the wurtzite segments.

  • Diffusion length measurements in axial and radial heterostructured nanowires using cathodoluminescence
  • 2011
  • In: Journal of Crystal Growth. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-0248. ; 315:1, s. 138-142
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We have measured the ambipolar diffusion lengths in nanowires with GaAs and AlGaAs core material using cathodoluminescence imaging. This was done by combining III-V semiconductor materials with different bandgaps in single nanowires. We show that it is possible to record intensity profiles of the emission from segments of lower bandgap material positioned along the nanowire length and in this way gain an insight on important carrier transport properties of the nanowire core material. We present diffusion data for GaAs and AlGaAs nanowire core material in different radially and axially heterostructured nanowires and show that the diffusion of carriers is greatly increased by capping the nanowires with a higher-bandgap material. In addition, we show how a decoupling of the radial and axial growth during particle-seeded growth is necessary in order to reach long diffusion lengths along the core of axially heterostructured nanowires. In addition, for ternary compounds (InGaAs and AlGaAs), we observe compositional differences for radial and axial nanowire growth. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure nanowires studied by cathodoluminescence
  • 2014
  • In: Nano Reseach. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1998-0124 .- 1998-0000. ; 7:4, s. 473-490
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In this report we explore the structural and optical properties of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure nanowires grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy using gold seed-particles. The optical studies were done by low-temperature cathodoluminescence (CL) in a scanning electron microscope (SEM). We perform a systematic investigation of how the nanowire growth-temperature affects the total photon emission, and variations in the emission energy and intensity along the length of the nanowires. The morphology and crystal structures of the nanowires were investigated using SEM and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to correlate specific photon emission characteristics with variations in the nanowire crystal structure directly, TEM and spatially resolved CL measurements were performed on the same individual nanowires. We found that the main emission energy was located at around 1.48 eV, and that the emission intensity was greatly enhanced when increasing the GaAs nanowire core growth temperature. The data strongly suggests that this emission energy is related to rotational twins in the GaAs nanowire core. Our measurements also show that radial overgrowth by GaAs on the GaAs nanowire core can have a deteriorating effect on the optical quality of the nanowires. Finally, we conclude that an in situ pre-growth annealing step at a sufficiently high temperature significantly improves the optical quality of the nanowires.

  • Fabrication and characterization of AlP-GaP core-shell nanowires
  • 2011
  • In: Journal of Crystal Growth. - : Elsevier BV. - 0022-0248. ; 324:1, s. 290-295
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We report on the particle assisted synthesis of core-shell AlP-GaP nanowires by use of metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The core-shell approach is chosen such as to stabilize the AlP which is highly sensitive to water. The nanowires were investigated by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. These nanowires have an indirect band-gap and form a type II staggered heterojunction. By designed capping of the AlP cores by GaP, we find the nanowires to be stable for more than a year.

  • A New Route toward Semiconductor Nanospintronics : Highly Mn-Doped GaAs Nanowires Realized by Ion-Implantation under Dynamic Annealing Conditions
  • 2011
  • In: Nano letters (Print). - Washington : American Chemical Society (ACS). - 1530-6984 .- 1530-6992. ; 11:9, s. 3935-3940
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We report on highly Mn-doped GaAs nanowires (NWs) of high crystalline quality fabricated by ion beam implantation, a technique that allows doping concentrations beyond the equilibrium solubility limit. We studied two approaches for the preparation of Mn-doped GaAs NWs: First, ion implantation at room temperature with subsequent annealing resulted in polycrystalline NWs and phase segregation of MnAs and GaAs. The second approach was ion implantation at elevated temperatures. In this case, the single-crystallinity of the GaAs NWs was maintained, and crystalline, highly Mn-doped GaAs NWs were obtained. The electrical resistance of such NWs dropped with increasing temperature (activation energy about 70 meV). Corresponding magnetoresistance measurements showed a decrease at low temperatures, indicating paramagnetism. Our findings suggest possibilities for future applications where dense arrays of GaMnAs nanowires may be used as a new kind of magnetic material system.

  • Calculation of hole concentrations in Zn doped GaAs nanowires
  • 2020
  • In: Nanomaterials. - : MDPI AG. - 2079-4991. ; 10:12
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • We have previously demonstrated that we can grow p-type GaAs nanowires using Zn doping during gold catalyzed growth with aerotaxy. In this investigation, we show how to calculate the hole concentrations in such nanowires. We base the calculations on the Zhang–Northrup defect formation energy. Using density functional theory, we calculate the energy of the defect, a Zn atom on a Ga site, using a supercell approach. The chemical potentials of Zn and Ga in the liquid catalyst particle are calculated from a thermodynamically assessed database including Au, Zn, Ga, and As. These quantities together with the chemical potential of the carriers enable us to calculate the hole concentration in the nanowires self-consistently. We validate our theoretical results against aerotaxy grown GaAs nanowires where we have varied the hole concentration by varying the Zn/Ga ratio in the aerotaxy growth.

  • Numerical simulations of absorption properties of InP nanowires for solar cell applications
  • 2012
  • In: Progress in Photovoltaics. - : Wiley. - 1099-159X. ; 20:8, s. 945-953
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • In this paper, we present results of optical simulations on the absorption of nanowires. The simulation was performed with rigorous coupled wave analysis to determine the potential of nanowires for use in a new kind of nanostructured solar cell. The overall absorption of the solar cell structure was calculated for four different diameters of the nanowires and also in dependence of light wavelength and nanowire period. Absorption modes were observed at distinct wavelengths, but not dependent on the wire period. To derive a local optical generation function for a nanowire solar cell, the spatially resolved absorption profile was modelled for two wire periods. The calculated generation profiles can be readily used as input for an electrical simulation of a nanowire solar cell to calculate its quantum efficiency and the currentvoltage characteristics.

  • Large-energy-shift photon upconversion in degenerately doped InP nanowires by direct excitation into the electron gas
  • 2013
  • In: Nano Reseach. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1998-0124 .- 1998-0000. ; 6:10, s. 752-757
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Realizing photon upconversion in nanostructures is important for many next-generation applications such as biological labelling, infrared detectors and solar cells. In particular nanowires are attractive for optoelectronics because they can easily be electrically contacted. Here we demonstrate photon upconversion with a large energy shift in highly n-doped InP nanowires. Crucially, the mechanism responsible for the upconversion in our system does not rely on multi-photon absorption via intermediate states, thus eliminating the need for high photon fluxes to achieve upconversion. The demonstrated upconversion paves the way for utilizing nanowires-with their inherent flexibility such as electrical contactability and the ability to position individual nanowires-for photon upconversion devices also at low photon fluxes, possibly down to the single photon level in optimised structures.
