Description: 
III-V semiconductor compound based nanowires (NWs) are expected to impact the fields of nano-electronic, nano-photonic, and photovoltaic devices. Self-assembly of crystal-phase controlled and high optical quality III-V NWs has been demonstrated. However, important physical and technological issues, such as carrier transport properties and reproducible incorporation of high dopant concentrations in NW materials, remain to be addressed for enabling robust nano-devices fabrication. In this work, we show the use of a multi-probe scanning tunneling microscope for the rapid electrical characterization of free-standing GaAs NWs, without any need for post-growth sample processing and contact fabrication. In particular, 2-probe I-V measurements were performed along the axis of a single 60-nm diameter unpassivated GaAs NW, and its resistance profile determined, obtaining high (in the range of GΩ) resistance …
