摘要：
A p-n junction is formed for the first time in a cross-sectional area of a GaAs wire crystal with a diameter of about 100 nm. Ultrafine cylindrical growth by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy is employed for the fabrication. Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics confirm the formation of the p-n junction in a narrow area at the midpoint of a wire crystal. Intensive light emission by current injection is observed at 77 K and even at room temperature. These results suggest that ultrafine optoelectronic devices with quantum-size p-n junction are possible.
