Variation in the electrical properties of ion beam irradiated cadmium selenate nanowires
2016
The key feature of nanowires consists in the pronounced change in properties induced by the low dimensionality and high surface to volume ratio. The study of electrical transport properties of nanowires is important for electronic device applications. Energetic ions create changes, which may be structural or chemical, in a material along their track and these changes might alter the material’s properties. The demand of the modern technology is to understand the effect of radiation on the different properties of the material for its further applications. The present study is on the high-energy Nickel ion beam (160 MeV Ni+12) induced modifications in the electrical and structural properties of the cadmium selenate nanowires. An enhancement in the electrical conductivity of irradiated wires was observed as the ion fluence was increased especially in the forward I–V characteristics. The creation of defects by ion irradiation and the synergy of the ions during their passage in the sample with the intrinsic cha...
