We have used terahertz spectroscopy to measure the conductivity and time-resolved photoconductivity of a range of semiconducting nanostructures. This article focuses on our recent terahertz conductivity studies on semiconductor nanowires and single walled carbon nanotubes.
In this work, controlled band gap modifications in AlInGaAs/InGaAs quantum well structures using different encapsulating layers are studied and compared. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to investigate the interfacial reaction between the quantum well structure and dielectric capping layer.
We have investigated the structural and optical properties of III-V nanowires grown by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. Binary GaAs, InAs and InP nanowires, and ternary InGaAs and AlGaAs nanowires, have been fabricated and characterised. A variety of axial and radial heterostructures have also been fabricated, including GaAs/AlGaAs core-multishell and GaAs/InGaAs superlattice nanowires. GaAs/AlGaAs...
We report a two-temperature procedure for the growth of GaAs nanowires by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. An initial high temperature step affords effective nucleation and promotes epitaxial growth of straight (111)B-oriented nanowires. Lower temperatures are employed subsequently, to minimise nanowire tapering during growth.
We have investigated the growth, structural properties and photoluminescence of novel GaAs/AlGaAs radial heterostructure nanowires, fabricated by metalorganic chemical vapour deposition. The effect of growth temperature on nanowire morphology is discussed. Strong photoluminescence is observed from GaAs nanowires with AlGaAs shells. Core/multishell nanowires, of GaAs cores clad in several alternating...
