    Abstract:
    Defects are detrimental for optoelectronics devices, such as stacking faults can form carrier-transportation barriers, and foreign impurities (Au) with deep-energy levels can form carrier traps and nonradiative recombination centers. Here, self-catalyzed p-type GaAs nanowires (NWs) with a pure zinc blende (ZB) structure are first developed, and then a photodetector made from these NWs is fabricated. Due to the absence of stacking faults and suppression of large amount of defects with deep energy levels, the photodetector exhibits room-temperature high photoresponsivity of 1.45 × 105 A W-1 and excellent specific detectivity (D*) up to 1.48 × 1014 Jones for a low-intensity light signal of wavelength 632.8 nm, which outperforms previously reported NW-based photodetectors. These results demonstrate these self-catalyzed pure-ZB GaAs NWs to be promising candidates for optoelectronics applications.
