Diameter-Dependent Electronic Transport Properties of Au-Catalyst/Ge-Nanowire Schottky Diodes
François Léonard, A. Alec Talin, B. S. Swartzentruber +1
We present electronic transport measurements in individual Au-catalyst/Ge-nanowire interfaces demonstrating the presence of a Schottky barrier. Surprisingly, the small-bias conduct…
Unusually strong space-charge-limited current in thin wires
A. Alec Talin, François Léonard, B. S. Swartzentruber +2
The current-voltage characteristics of thin wires are often observed to be nonlinear, and this behavior has been ascribed to Schottky barriers at the contacts. We present electroni…
Electrical contacts to nanotubes and nanowires: why size matters
Francois Leonard, A. Alec Talin
Metal-semiconductor contacts play a key role in electronics. Here we show that for quasi-one-dimensional structures such as nanotubes and nanowires, side contact with the metal onl…
