摘要
To explore the unique properties of the nanoscale, advanced fabrication and characterization techniques are required Specifically analyses in two orthogonal directions, plan-view and cross-section, were used to prove the core-shell morphology of GaAs/AlGaAs nanowires and determine their cross-section to be hexagonal High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy confirmed the core-shell interface to be defect-free, coherent, and sharp (<nm) Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy determined the shell composition to be Al0 9Ga0 1As uniformly along the length of the nanowire These results demonstrate the power of electron microscopy to aid the development of semiconductor nanotechnology
