InAs/InP/InSb Nanowires as Low Capacitance n-n Heterojunction Diodes

Nanowire diodes have been realized by employing an axial heterojunction between InAs and InSb semiconductor materials. The broken-gap band alignment (type III) leads to a strong rectification effect when the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic is inspected at room temperature. The additional insert...
