In recent theoretical investigations a high spin polarization has been predicted for the ballistic tunneling current in semiconductor single- and double-barrier asymmetric tunnel structures of III-V semiconductors with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling. We show in this paper that the polarization in the tunneling can probability be sufficiently increased for producing realistic single-barrier structures by including of the Dresselhaus term into consideration (25 refs.)

The diameter of the wire can be controlled from less than a micron to a few hundred microns. We propose a novel smart field electron emission device using silicon nano-wires fabricated by this vapor-liquid-solid growth method, and demonstrate field electron emission with a quite low operation voltage from a gated silicon nano-wire. The threshold voltage is about 13 V, and the value is similar to those for gated carbon- nanotube field emitters. The emission current reaches 10 nA at 15V gate voltage (11 refs.)

We use the vapor-liquidsolid growth method, in which a catalytically active gold nanoparticle forms a eutectic alloy with the nanowire constituents. Our method of growth allows atomically abrupt interfaces between different III-V semiconductors, also for highly mismatched combinations for which conventional growth techniques can not be used. Special emphasis is put on the processing of ohmic contacts to nanowires. We describe the transport properties of nanowires containing heterostructures from which band off-sets between two different binary materials are determined. Finally, we report the creation of double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes in which a single InAs quantum dot surrounded by InP tunnel barriers acts as the active element in the device, resulting in energetically sharp resonant tunneling peaks reflecting tunneling into zero-dimensional states of the quantum dot (18 refs.)

Soc, USA, 2003 Language: English ISBN: 1 55899 713 X Page: 23-30 Document type: Conference paper Abstract: High-quality GaP, GaP@GaN and GaN@GaP nanowires were grown by a convenient vapor deposition technique. The wire-like and two-layers structures of GaP@GaN and GaN@GaP core-shell nanowires were clearly resolved using X-ray powder diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and their growth, directions were identified. Photoluminescence intensity of GaP@GaN nanowires increased as temperature increased. The result was interpreted by the piezoelectric effect induced from lattice mismatch between two semiconductor layers. An unexpected peak at 386 cm-1 was found in the Raman spectra of GaN@GaP and assigned to a surface phonon mode due to the interface. Detailed synthetic conditions and possible growth mechanisms of those nanowires were proposed (21 refs.) Inspec No.: 8253423
