Heterogeneous nucleation of pits via step pinning during Si(100) homoepitaxy
E. N. Yitamben, R. E. Butera, B. S. Swartzentruber +4
Using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we investigate oxide-induced growth pits in Si thin films deposited by molecular beam epitaxy. In the transition temperature range from 2…
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…
