Semiconductor nanowires offer a wide range of opportunities for newgenerations of nanoscale electronic and optic devices. For these applications to become reality, deeper understanding of the fundamental properties of the nanowires is required. In this the ...
Doped silicon nanowires (NWs) were epitaxially grown on silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition following a vapour-liquid-solid process, in which dopants together with silicon atoms were introduced into the gas phase by laser ablation of lightly and ...
The structural and optical properties of three different kinds of GaAs nanowires with 100% zinc-blende structure and with an average of 30% and 70% wurtzite are presented. A variety of shorter and longer segments of zinc-blende or wurtzite crystal phases a ...
The properties of semiconductors heterostructures of nanoscopic dimensions change from that of bulk material according to the rules of quantum mechanics. The planar quantum wells (QWs) are widely used in various diode and laser devices thanks to the relati ...
In this thesis we study the electronic structure of different two-dimensional (2D) electron systems with angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). This technique is based on the photoelectric effect and directly probes the electronic structure o ...
A method for the direct correlation at the nanoscale of structural and optical properties of single GaAs nanowires is reported. Nanowires consisting of 100% wurtzite and nanowires presenting zinc-blende/wurtzite polytypism are investigated by photoluminesc ...
The growth of GaAs nanowires by the gallium-assisted method with molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is presented in this review article. The structure of the grown nanowires was investigated by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy as well as Ra ...
We study the growth of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with aluminum as catalyst. We show that for a growth temperature of 600 °C, the silicon precursor partial pressure (SiH 4 in this study) is a key parameter for controlling ...
The topic of this dissertation is embedded into the new-born field of inorganic nanowires. The research was focused on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires, in particular, which besides posing fundamental questions in physics, promise broad range of applications. Zn ...
Interesting phenomena during the Au-assisted chemical beam epitaxy of InAs-InSb nanowire heterostructures have been observed and interpreted within the framework of a theoretical model. An unusual, non-monotonous diameter dependence of the InSb nanowire gr ...
