To understand the growth mechanism and the effect of catalysts in growing III–V epitaxial nanowires, GaAs (111)B substrates with Au thin films were annealed in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Scanning/transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) investigations indicate that, during annealing, the Au catalysts were formed and affect significantly the surface morphology of the GaAs substrates.
To explore the growth mechanism and the effect of non-gold catalysts in growing III–V epitaxial nanowires, InAs nanowires were grown on GaAs(111)B substrates using annealed Pd thin film as catalyst. Through detailed scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM/TEM) characterisations, it is found that when the catalyst size is less than 50 nm (from annealing the Pd thin film), defect-free zinc-blende...
Two different Au catalysts were used to grow GaAs epitaxial nanowires on GaAs (111)B substrates. Detailed investigations have shown that using Au thin film and annealing technique, it is possible to achieve nanowire growth with much higher density comparing to using Au nanoparticles. It is found that the tapering and lattice defects normally observed in nanowires induced by Au nanoparticles were reduced...
The sidewall facets of GaAs nanowires (NWs) were studied. It has been found that the sidewalls of GaAs NWs grown at 450 °C are {112} facets. However, the sidewalls of GaAs NWs start to become {110} during the postannealing at 650 °C for 30 min.
We have observed the transport properties in magnetic tunnel junction with the multilayered structure: (50 nm)/Al-O (1 nm)/CoFeB (5 nm)/Ta (10 nm)/Ru (10 nm). The maximum normal tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio was found to be 12.4% at a temperature range around 100 K, and the maximum inverse TMR ratio was observed to be 3% at a temperature of 5 K . The inverse TMR decreases with increasing...
The behavior of transition metals in ZnO has become an important topic for spintronics. As the fundamental property, the nano-structural characteristics of the transition metal implanted ZnO have been studied. It is clearly observed that in ZnO the Mn+ implantation and post-annealing result in (1) the formation of crystallographically orientated Zn nanocrystals within the ZnO matrix and (2) Mn atoms...
