  • Simultaneous Selective-Area and Vapor–Liquid–Solid Growth of InP Nanowire Arrays

    by Qian Gao, Vladimir G. Dubrovskii, Philippe Caroff, Jennifer Wong-Leung, Li Li, Yanan Guo, Lan Fu, Hark Hoe Tan, Chennupati Jagadish

    Selective-area epitaxy is highly successful in producing application-ready size-homogeneous arrays of III–V nanowires without the need to use metal catalysts. Previous works have demonstrated excellent control of nanowire properties but the growth mechanisms remain rather unclear. Herein, we report a detailed growth study revealing that fundamental growth mechanisms of pure wurtzite InP ⟨111⟩A nanowires can indeed differ significantly from the simple picture of a facet-limited selective-area growth process. A dual growth regime with and without metallic droplet is found to coexist under the same growth conditions for different diameter nanowires. Incubation times and highly nonmonotonous growth rate behaviors are revealed and explained within a dedicated kinetic model.

    Selective-Area Epitaxy of Pure Wurtzite InP Nanowires: High Quantum Efficiency and Room-Temperature Lasing

    by Qian Gao, Dhruv Saxena, Fan Wang, Lan Fu, Sudha Mokkapati, Yanan Guo, Li Li, Jennifer Wong-Leung, Philippe Caroff, Hark Hoe Tan, et al.

    We report the growth of stacking-fault-free and taper-free wurtzite InP nanowires with diameters ranging from 80 to 600 nm using selective-area metal–organic vapor-phase epitaxy and experimentally determine a quantum efficiency of ∼50%, which is on par with InP epilayers. We also demonstrate room-temperature, photonic mode lasing from these nanowires. Their excellent structural and optical quality opens up new possibilities for both fundamental quantum optics and optoelectronic devices.
