Abstract

InSb nanowire (NW) arrays were prepared by pulsed electrodeposition combined with a porous template technique. The resulting polycrystalline material has a stoichiometric composition (In:Sb = 1:1) and a high length-to-diameter ratio. Based on a combination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis and field-effect measurements, the band gap, the charge carrier polarity, the carrier concentration, the mobility and the effective mass for the InSb NWs was investigated. In this preliminary work, a transition from p-type to n-type charge transport was observed when the InSb NWs were subjected to annealing.
