Description | 1. Controlled and reproducible doping is essential for nanowires (NWs) to realize their functions. In this project, the doping mechanism of self-catalyzed NWs and the influence of self-catalytic droplets on the doping process are systematically studied This study is an essential step toward the design and fabrication of nanowire devices. 2. The growth of self-catalyzed core-shell NWs is investigated systematically using GaAs(P) NWs. The defects in the core NW are found to be detrimental for the shell growth. These defects are effectively eliminated by introducing beryllium (Be) doping during the NW core growth. Shells with pure zinc-blende crystal quality and highly regular morphology are successfully grown on the defect-free NW cores. These results provide useful information on guiding the growth of high-quality shell, which can greatly enhance the NW device performance. 3. Nanowire QW laser was achieved with record low threshold. 4. Nanowire quantum well structures have been developed as promising candidate for nanowire lasers. |
Exploitation Route | These findings will enable high-qiality Nanowire materials and devices possible. We developed high-quality GaAs/GaAsP quantum-well nanowire emitters, including single-photon emitter and lasers. These devices could be potentially used in quantum technology and lighting areas. |
