Understanding interface formation between InAs semiconductors and hafnium dioxide insulating layers Most semiconductor devices are still based on silicon, even though other semiconductor materials such as InAs have superior electrical properties. The problem with these materials is that their interface towards thin insulating layers, which are needed for e.g. transistor processing, contains many d

A group of NanoLund researchers recently reported on the first nanowire photodetector sensitive to long-wavelength infrared radiation. The infrared response from 3 to 20 μm is enabled by intersubband transitions in InAsP quantum discs synthesized axially within InP nanowires. The intriguing optical characteristics, including unexpected sensitivity to normal incident radiation, are explained by exc
