Abstract
We report on the characterization of wurtzite (WZ) InP nanowire (NW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different pn junctions (axial and radial). The series resistance tended to be smaller in the NW-LED using core–shell InP NWs with a radial pn junction than in the NW-LED using InP NWs with an axial pn junction, indicating that radial pn junctions are more suitable for current injection. The electroluminescence (EL) properties of both NW LEDs revealed that the EL had three peaks originating from the zinc-blende (ZB) phase, WZ phase, and ZB/WZ heterojunction. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the dominant EL in the radial pn junction originated from the ZB/WZ interface across the stacking faults.
