Abstract

Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are promising components for future generation optoelectronic devices and systems such as solar cells [1], lasers [2], light-emitting diodes [3], and photodetectors [4]. Group III−V semiconductors are materials of choice to fabricate such devices because they offer excellent optical and electrical properties including a direct band gap and high electron mobility, and most importantly, they can be grown via industrial mass scale production epitaxial growth techniques such as metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE).
