Semiconductor nanowires studied by photocurrent spectroscopy

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

Photocurrent spectroscopy is a versatile technique to identify and understand the optoelectronic dynamics occurring in semiconductor nanowires. Conventional photocurrent spectroscopy allows to explore the morphology and material properties of nanowires as well as their contact interfaces. Using time-resolved photocurrent spectroscopy one gets additional information on the multiple photocurrent generation mechanisms and their respective timescales. This chapter discusses various aspects of the photocurrent spectroscopy and it summarizes the physical mechanisms behind the photocurrent and photoconductance effects in semiconductor nanowires.
