Doping is a fundamental property of semiconductors and constitutes the basis of modern microelectronic and optoelectronic devices. Their miniaturization requires contactless characterization of doping with nanometer scale resolution. Here,…
N-type doping of GaAs nanowires has proven to be difficult because the amphoteric character of silicon impurities is enhanced by the nanowire growth mechanism and growth conditions. The controllable growth of n-type GaAs nanowires with…
We investigate the electronic band structure of modulation-doped GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires for both n- and p-doping. We developed an 8-band Burt-Foreman k.p Hamiltonian approach to describe coupled conduction and valence bands in…
Achieving significant doping in GaAs/AlAs core/shell nanowires (NWs) is of considerable technological importance but remains a challenge due to the amphoteric behavior of the dopant atoms. Here we show that placing a narrow GaAs quantum…
We perform self-consistent Schr\"odinger-Poisson calculations with exchange and correlation corrections to determine the electron/hole gas in a radial hetero-junction formed in a modulation doped GaAs/AlGaAs core-multi-shell nanowire (CSNW)…
Bottom-up production of semiconductor nanomaterials is often accompanied by inhomogeneity resulting in a spread in electronic properties which may be influenced by the nanoparticle geometry, crystal quality, stoichiometry or doping. Using…
The London penetration depth was measured in single crystals of self-doped Na$_{1-\delta}$FeAs (from under - to optimal - doping, $T_c$ from 14 to 27 K) and electron-doped Na(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)As with $x$ ranging from undoped, $x=0$ to…
Efficient doping of semiconductor nanowires remains a major challenge towards the commercialization of nanowire-based devices. In this work we investigate the growth regimes and electrical properties of MBE-grown p- and n-type gallium…
Whether a quantum critical point (QCP) demarcates the end of the pseudogap (PG) regime in hole-doped cuprates at a singular doping level $p^* \approx 0.19$ remains an open question. A crucial part of this puzzle is how the carrier density…
GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy may contain segments of both the zincblende (ZB) and wurtzite (WZ) phases. Depending on the growth conditions, we find that optical emission of such NWs occurs either predominantly above…
In this paper, we study band-to-band and intersubband characteristics of GaN/AlN heterostructures (planar and nanowires) structurally designed to absorb in the short-wavelength infrared region, particularly at 1.55 microns. We compare the…
We present a comprehensive computational study of the electronic, thermal, and thermoelectric (TE) properties of gallium nitride nanowires (NWs) over a wide range of thicknesses (3--9 nm), doping densities ($10^{18}$--$10^{20}$ cm$^{-3}$),…
Mn-doped GaAs nanowires were grown in the self-catalytic growth mode on oxidized Si(100) surface by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering, photoluminescence,…
GaAs was central to the development of quantum devices but is rarely used for nanowire-based quantum devices with InAs, InSb and SiGe instead taking the leading role. p-type GaAs nanowires offer a path to studying strongly-confined 0D and…
A procedure to achieve the density-controlled growth of gold-catalyzed InP nanowires (NWs) on (111) silicon substrates using the vapor-liquid-solid method by molecular beam epitaxy is reported. We develop an effective and mask-free method…
We realize growth of self-catalyzed core-shell GaAs/GaAsP nanowires (NWs) on Si substrates using molecular-beam epitaxy. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of single GaAs/GaAsP NWs confirms their high crystal quality and shows…
Semiconductor nanowires are attractive for photovoltaic applications because light absorption can be enhanced compared to planar layers due to the more complex coupling of light with wavelength-scale matter. However, experimentally it is…
High aspect ratio, rod-like and single crystal phase GaAs nanowires (NWs) were grown by gold catalyst-assisted hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and micro-Raman spectroscopy…
We investigate the luminescence properties of 10 nm YAG nanoparticles doped with Ce ions at 0.2%, 4% and 13% that are designed as active probes for Scanning Near field Optical Microscopy. They are produced by a physical method without any…
We report a systematic study of p-type polarization induced doping in graded AlGaN nanowire light emitting diodes grown on silicon wafers by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The composition gradient in the p-type base is varied in a…
