Abstract
We report the realization of ordered arrays of single-crystalline InAs nanotubes by a simple pure-eptiaxial approach. The process involved the fabrication of lattice-mismatched InP∕InAs core-shell nanowires using selective area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on InP (111)A substrates. The subsequent removal of the InP core resulted in vertically aligned InAs nanotubes which were highly uniform with well-defined features and controllable dimensions. Transmission electron microscopy studies confirmed that the nanotubes were single-crystalline with wurtzite crystal structure and temperature-dependent transport measurements revealed that they were conductive without any intentional doping. The realization of such conductive InAs nanotubes opens up new possibilities for both fundamental studies and future device applications.
