Abstrakt: | In this work, the first observation of the space charge limited conduction mechanism (SCLC) in GaAsSb nanowires (NWs) grown by Ga-assisted molecular beam epitaxial technique, and the effect of ultrahigh vacuum in-situ annealing have been investigated. The low onset voltage of the SCLC in the NW configuration has been advantageously exploited to extract trap density and trap distribution in the bandgap of this material system, using simple temperature dependent current-voltage measurements in both the ensemble and single nanowires. In-situ annealing in an ultra-high vacuum revealed significant reduction in the trap density from 1016 cm-3 in as-grown NWs to a low level of 7 * 1014 cm-3 and confining wider trap distribution to a single trap depth at 0.12 eV. A comparison of current conduction mechanism in the respective single nanowires using conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) further confirms the SCLC mechanism identified in GaAsSb ensemble device to be intrinsic. Higher current observed in current mapping by C-AFM, increased 4K photoluminescence (PL) intensity along with reduced full-width half maxima and more symmetric PL spectra, reduced asymmetrical broadening and increased TO/LO mode in room temperature Raman spectra for in-situ annealed NWs again attest to effective annihilation of traps leading to the improved optical quality of NWs compared to as-grown NWs. Hence, the I-V-T analysis of the SCLC mechanism has been demonstrated to be a simple approach to obtain information on growth induced traps in the NWs. (© 2020 IOP Publishing Ltd.) |
