Conductivity and photoconductivity in undoped ZnSe nanowire array
2006
Arrays of free-standing ZnSe nanowires with the length of 8–10μm and diameters of 80–150nm were fabricated by Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth. Current-voltage characteristics of the arrays over the temperature interval of 90–400K showed a superlinear character. The differential conductance varied between two saturating regimes at low and high biases, respectively. This behavior was explained using a model of nonuniform wires with concentration fluctuations along them. The nanowire photoconductivity had a spectral edge corresponding to the ZnSe band gap and a strong frequency dispersion, presumably due to carrier capture by deep centers.
