Abstract
Minority carrier diffusion lengths Ld are measured for GaN, GaN/AlGaN, and GaN/InGaN
core-shell nanowires using a technique based on imaging of recombination luminescence. The effect
of shell material on transport properties is measured. An AlGaN shell produces Ld values in excess
of 1 m and a relative insensitivity to wire diameter. An InGaN shell reduces effective diffusion
length, while a dependence of Ld on diameter is observed for uncoated nanowires.
