Engineering electronic functionalities in nanowire-based devices: advantages from heterostructuring and electrostatic doping
Relatore: Francesco Rossella - NEST Laboratory, Scuola Normale Superiore and Istituto Nanoscienze-CNR.
Abstract
Semiconductor nanowires and nanowire heterostructures provide a formidable playground for nanoscience and nanotechnology at large, allowing to enable unprecedented device functionalities, that find countless applications spanning from quantum computation-technologies and sensing to energy harvesting and machine learning.
We build on the epitaxial growth of III-V semiconductor nanowires, and demonstrate prototypical nanowire-based devices that use different strategies for the electrostatic doping of the nanostructures.
Electronic confinement in InP-InAs nanowire quantum dots is exploited for thermoelectric conversion [1] and to enable single electron transistors coupled to microwaves [2]. Broken-gap InAs-GaSb core-shell nanowires allow to implement Esaki tunnel diodes [3] and open new perspectives for studying the physics of interacting electrons and holes at the nanoscale. Electric double layer transistors based on InAs nanowires gated by ionic liquids [4] enable the simultaneous gate-control of electrical conductivity and measurement of thermal conductivity in device architectures with suspended nanostructures [5].
