摘要
We present the effects of ion bombardment on ZnO nanowires caused by their exposure to an Ar inductively coupled plasma. The conductivity of the individual ZnO nanowire was increased in up to 3 orders of magnitude due to increase in both carrier concentration and mobility, with a substantial negative shift in the threshold gate voltage also being observed. The drastic changes in the electrical properties were attributed to the decrease in species adsorbed on the surface, as well as to the increase in oxygen vacancies near the surface caused by ion bombardment.
