摘要
We report on electrical transport in the dark and under ultraviolet (UV) illumination through GaN nanowhiskers; grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), which is sensitively dependent on the column diameter. This new effect is quantitatively described by a size dependent surface recombination mechanism. The essential ingredient for the interpretation of this effect is a diameter dependent recombination barrier, which arises from the interplay between column diameter and space charge layer extension at the column surface.
