Enhanced minority carrier lifetimes in GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires through shell growth optimization.

The effects of AlGaAs shell thickness and growth time on the minority carrier lifetime in the GaAs core of GaAs/AlGaAs core-shell nanowires grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition are investigated. The carrier lifetime increases with increasing AlGaAs shell thickness up to a certain value a...
