| Abstract: | High-quality single-crystalline GaP nanowires were grown by a simple vapour deposition method and their electrical and opto-electric transport properties were studied. Structural studies showed that the GaP nanowires consisted of a coreshell structure with a single-crystalline GaP core and an outer gallium oxide (GaOx) layer of thickness [inline image] nm. The individual GaP nanowires exhibited n-type field effects with an on/off ratio as high as 105 and their carrier mobilities are in the range of about 1022 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature. When the devices were exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) light source, the current in the nanowires increased abruptly to more than 103 times, and this was possibly due to carrier generation in the nanowires and de-adsorption of adsorbed O2- ions on the GaOx surface shell. The nanowires also showed good reversible switching actions between the high- and low-resistance states. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
