 Recent Nanowire Studies

• III-V Semiconductor Nanowires at the Braun Center for Submicron Research

 Research Interests:

Current Interests:

• Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires by Au-assisted and self-assisted Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS)
• Structural study of InAs and GaAs nanowires focused on eliminating the inherent formation of stacking faults
• Growth of lattice matched GaAs/AlAs core/shell heterostructure nanowires by Au and by self-assisted VLS-MBE
• Structural study of InAs/GaAs strained core/shell nanowires by Au-assisted VLS-MBE
• Transport studies in InAs nanowires intended to obtain ballistic transport

Previous Work:

• Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) of semiconductor materials
• Growth of high quality two-dimensional electron gas structures
• Growth of particularly shallow two-dimensional electron gas structures where the 2DEG is only about 20 nm from the surface
• Study of growth on unique, non-(100) crystal planes
• Growth on (311)A for producing p-type and p-n structures
• Growth on (511)A for achieving improved n-type structures
• Study of other alternative growth orientations, likely to improve the quality of MBE growth of III-V structures
• Growth of inverted structures of either electrons or holes, the so-called ISIS (inverted semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor) structures where the density of the two-dimensional electron or hole gas can be modified by an as-grown back gate
