We study the optical properties of a single core-shell GaAs-AlGaAs nanowire (grown by VLS method) using the technique of micro-photoluminescence and spatially-resolved photoluminescence imaging. We observe large linear polarization…
Temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL) is used to study the electronic properties of single CdS nanowires. At low temperatures, both near-band edge (NBE) photoluminescence (PL) and spatially-localized defect-related PL are observed in…
Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) and micro-PL imaging were used to study single CdS nanowires at 10 K. The low-temperature PL of all CdS nanowires exhibit spectral features near energies associated with free and bound exciton…
We use spatially resolved micro-PL imaging at low temperature to study optical properties of two sets of CdS nanowires grown using 20 nm and 50 nm catalysts. We find that low temperature PL of single nanowires is an ideal technique to gauge…
