Electron Transport in InAs-InAlAs Core-Shell Nanowires    [PDF]

Gregory W. Holloway, Yipu Song, Chris M. Haapamaki, Ray R. LaPierre, Jonathan Baugh
Evidence is given for the effectiveness of InAs surface passivation by the growth of an epitaxial InAlAs shell. The electron mobility is measured as a function of temperature for both core-shell and unpassivated nanowires, with the core-shell nanowires showing a monotonic increase in mobility as temperature is lowered, in contrast to a turnover in mobility seen for the unpassivated nanowires. We argue that this signifies a reduction in low temperature ionized impurity scattering for the passivated nanowires, implying a reduction in surface states.
