Self-assembled nanowires have attracted much attention due to their potential applications in electronics and optoelectronics. A recent interest in Mn catalyzed GaAs nanowires are due to their potential use in spintronic devices at nanoscale. High densities of Au- and Mncatalyzed self-assembled GaAs nanowires (NWs) with diameter in the range of 20 to 200 nm and length of few microns were synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on different substrates at varied substrate temperatures. These nanowires were investigated by means of μ-Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. The Raman spectra from NWs show an energy downshift and a broadening of the LO and TO phonon lines that differ from those of epitaxial GaAs. We suggest that those downshift and broadening are due to the relaxation of the q=0 selection rule in the presence of structural defects in the nanowires. The results indicate that the use of Mn instead of Au as growth catalyst does not affect the structural quality of the nanowires drastically.

ABSTRACTM-plane GaN(1100) is grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on ZnO(1100) substrates. A low-temperature GaN buffer layer is found to be necessary to obtain good structural quality of the films. Well oriented (1100) GaN films are obtained, with a slate like surface morphology. On the GaN(1100) surfaces, reconstructions with symmetry of c(2×2) and approximate “4×5” are found under N- and Ga-rich conditions, respectively. We propose a model for Ga-rich conditions with the “4×5” structure consisting of ≥ 2 monolayers of Ga terminating the GaN surface.

ABSTRACTInAs and InAs0.85Sb0.15p-“i”-n structures were grown on InAs, GaAs and Si substrates by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. The structural quality of the layers is discussed using Transmission Electron Microscopy and Rutherford Back Scattering. The influence of the material quality on the 77 K current-voltage measurements is explained. The spectral response of the devices was measured demonstrating peak responsivities of 2.1 A/W at 3.5μm wavelength for InAs0.85Sb0.15 detectors with a 4.3 μm cut-off wavelength.
