Investigation of structural characteristics of III-V semiconductor nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Abstract: One-dimensional nanowires made of III-V semiconductors have attracted significant research interest in the recent decades due to their distinct physical and chemical properties that can potentially lead to a wide range of applications in nanoelectronics and optoelectronics. As a key class of III-V semiconductor nanowires, InAs nanowires have attracted special attention due to their narrow bandgap, relatively high electron mobility, and small electron effective mass, which made them a promising candidate for th… Show more

“…By in situ doping with Er during crystal growth, the doping profile can be easily tailored as needed, with a doping depth as deep as the thickness of the AlGaAs layer. However, the highest Er concentration is limited by its solubility in the AlGaAs semiconductor, about 5 10 cm and 4 10 cm for Al Ga As grown at 580 C and 400 C, respectively [28]. In contrast, ion implantation can achieve an Er concentration well above the solubility limit because the Er is not distributed in a thermal equilibrium phase with its host.…”

“…1) Er Incorporation in situ During Molecular Beam Epitaxial Growth: Several AlGaAs and AlInAs samples, grown by MBE for a previous study [28], [29] of Er-doped semiconductors at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, were subsequently provided to the University of Notre Dame, IN, for additional oxidation and photoluminescence studies to further explore the suitability of the native oxides as rare earth hosts. The Al In As:Er sample used in this work was grown as a mismatched film on a GaAs substrate, originally for doping calibration, and chosen for this study due to its higher Er effusion cell temperature of 900 C, yielding an Er concentration of 0.03 at.%.…”
