Optoelectronic properties of semiconductor nanowires in the infrared regime

Thesis

Semiconducting nanowires are promising elements for potential use in nanoscale devices. Due to their versatility, they can be utilised for a wide range of applications. To correlate the nanowires with their best possible device applications, a powerful all-optical platform was developed to characterise both their electrical and optical properties by combining terahertz spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The focus will be on three different material systems (gallium phosp...
