  • Title: Correlating the nanostructure and electronic properties of InAs nanowires.
    Author: Schroer MD, Petta JR.
    Journal: Nano Lett; 2010 May 12; 10(5):1618-22. PubMed ID: 20384350.
    Abstract:
    The electronic properties and nanostructure of InAs nanowires are correlated by creating multiple field effect transistors (FETs) on nanowires grown to have low and high defect density segments. 4.2 K carrier mobilities are approximately 4x larger in the nominally defect free segments of the wire. We also find that dark field optical intensity is correlated with the mobility, suggesting a simple route for selecting wires with a low defect density. At low temperatures, FETs fabricated on high defect density segments of InAs nanowires showed transport properties consistent with single electron charging, even on devices with low resistance ohmic contacts. The charging energies obtained suggest quantum dot formation at defects in the wires. These results reinforce the importance of controlling the defect density in order to produce high quality electrical and optical devices using InAs nanowires.
