چکیده

Subwavelength nanostructured surfaces are realized with self-assembled vertically-aligned InAs nanowires, and their functionalities as optical reflectors are investigated. In our system, polarization-resolved specular reflectance displays strong modulations as a function of incident photon energy and angle. An effective-medium model allows one to rationalize the experimental findings in the long wavelength regime, whereas numerical simulations fully reproduce the experimental outcomes in the entire frequency range. The impact of the refractive index of the medium surrounding the nanostructure assembly on the reflectance was estimated. In view of the present results, sensing schemes compatible with microfluidic technologies and routes to innovative nanowire-based optical elements are discussed.

Anomalous and highly efficient InAs nanowire phototransistors based on majority carrier transport at room temperature.

Core/shell-like n-type InAs nanowire phototransistors based on majority-carrier-dominated photodetection are investigated. Under optical illumination, electrons generated from the core are excited into the self-assembled near-surface photogating layer, forming a built-in electric field to significantly regulate the core conductance. Anomalous high photoconductive gain and fast response time are...

Raman scattering study of InAs nanowires under high pressure.

The pressure-dependent phonon modes of InAs nanowires have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy under high pressure up to ∼58 GPa. X-ray diffraction measurements show that InAs nanowires at 21 GPa exhibit a phase transition from a wurtzite to an orthorhombic crystal structure, with a corresponding drastic change in the first-order Raman spectra. In the low-pressure regime, a linear increase ...

All-Optical Ultrafast Control and Read-Out of a Single Negatively Charged Self-Assembled InAs Quantum Dot

We demonstrate the all-optical ultrafast manipulation and read-out of optical transitions in a single negatively charged self-assembled InAs quantum dot, an important step towards ultrafast control of the resident spin. Experiments performed at zero magnetic field show the excitation and decay of the trion (negatively charged exciton) as well as Rabi oscillations between the electron and trion ...

Effect of growth temperature on the morphology and phonon properties of InAs nanowires on Si substrates

Catalyst-free, vertical array of InAs nanowires (NWs) are grown on Si (111) substrate using MOCVD technique. The as-grown InAs NWs show a zinc-blende crystal structure along a < 111 > direction. It is found that both the density and length of InAs NWs decrease with increasing growth temperatures, while the diameter increases with increasing growth temperature, suggesting that the catalyst-free ...
