摘要
AlGaInAs nanowires or rods of 20-40nm diameter were formed by depositing an AlGaAs/GaAs/InAs short-period superlattice onto self-organized InAs quantum dots on GaAs. The In content is found to be substantially higher in the rods than in the superlattice matrix, implying that rods serve as favorable paths for electrons. Transport properties measured at 4.2 K on a sample where 79-nm-long rods are buried between n(+)-GaAs electrodes show that rods are indeed far more conductive than their matrix barrier. Photoluminescence study has indicated that photogenerated carriers recombine mostly in the seed dot portion of rods. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
