Abstract

As a type of promising nanomaterials, semiconductor nanowires have been extensively studied in the past few years; however, the difficulty of synthesizing nanowires with desirable morphology and high crystal quality hinders the further development. In this study, we provide a simple two-step method to synthesize nanowires with smooth surface, excellent crystal quality and large processing window. These ternary InGaAs nanowires exhibit outstanding electrical performance with high Ion/Ioff ratio (∼106) and electron mobility (∼1300 cm2/Vs), which could be utilized in future integrated circuits.
