Abstract

Efficiency of in situ AlGaAs and GaP and ex situ nitride surface passivation of p+ GaAs nanowires was studied. The efficiency was estimated by comparing of the photoluminescence intensity of the passivated nanowires with the unpassivated nanowire. The AlGaAs and nitride passivation lead to the increasing of the PL intensity by three orders of magnitude while the GaP passivation increases PL intensity only by one order. Photodegradation of the passivated NWs under intensive laser illumination was observed. AlGaAs, GaP and nitride passivated NWs photodegrade after one-minute exposure under laser power densities of 500, 300 and 30 kW/cm2, respectively.
