Abstract

Indium arsenide wires have been fabricated in a glass host consisting of a high density array of uniformly shaped channels in a matrix glass. Reactions between organoindium compounds and arsine have produced polycrystalline InAs with crystallite sizes of approximately 10 nanometers when annealed at 400°C. At higher annealing temperatures, the wires exhibit an increase in surface porosity and grain size.

Gallium arsenide nanowires fabricated within the NCG host structure by a process analogous to that described above using Me3Ga in place of Et3In or i-Bu3In exhibited very fine grain structure yielding high strength, high aspect-ratio nanowires that survived the fracture process more completely than those of InAs. Chemical analysis of the GaAs system indicated ∼2–3% carbon and less than 1% hydrogen. X-ray diffraction gave similar results for GaAs found within the channels and for residual powder outside the channels. To be submitted for publication.Google Scholar
