Controlled 1.1–1.6 μ m luminescence in gold-free multi-stacked InAs/InP heterostructure nanowires

We report controlled 1.1–1.6 μ m luminescence in gold-free multi-stacked InAs/InP heterostructure nanowires (NWs). We realized the NWs by using an indium-particle-assisted vapor–liquid–solid synthesis approach. The growth temperature, as low as 320 °C, enables the formation of an atomically abrupt InP/InAs interface by supressing the diffusion and weakening the reservoir effect in the indium droplet. The low growth temperature also enables us to grow multi-stacked InAs/InP NWs in the axial direction without any growth on the NW side face. The high controllability of the growth technology ensures that the luminescence can be tailored by the thickness of InAs segment in InP NWs and cover the 1.3–1.5 μ m telecommunication window range. By using the nanoscale-spatial-resolution technology combing cathodoluminescence with scanning electron microscopy, we directly correlated the site of different-thickness InAs segments with its luminescence property in a single NW and demo...

Growth process of nanosized aluminum thin films by pulsed laser deposition for fluorescence enhancement

Pulsed laser deposition was used to deposit aluminum thin films of various thicknesses ( t Al ) ranging from 5 to 40 nm and to investigate their growth process when they are deposited onto SiO 2 and Y 2 O 3 . Atomic force microscopy and x-ray reflectivity measurements show that the structure of the Al films are related to the wettability properties of the underlaying layer. Onto SiO 2 , ultra-smooth layers of aluminum are obtained, due to a perfect wetting of SiO 2 by Al. In contrast when deposited onto Y 2 O 3 , percolated Al layers are observed with apparent pore size decreasing from 200 to 82 nm as ##IMG## [http://ift.tt/1Dafemx] {${{t}_{{\rm Al}}}$} is increased from 5 to 40 nm, respectively. This particular morphology is related to partial dewetting of Al on Y 2 O 3. These two different growth mechanisms of alu...
