Effect of Au substrate and coating on the lasing characteristics of GaAs nanowires

Abstract Optically pumped lasing from highly Zn-doped GaAs nanowires lying on an Au film substrate and from Au-coated nanowires has been demonstrated up to room temperature. The conically shaped GaAs nanowires were first coated with a 5 nm thick Al2O3 shell to suppress atmospheric oxidation and band...
