Abstract
This diploma thesis describes the experimental sessions carried out step by step towards the final aim of implementing the electrical characterization and luminescence detection on individual upright-standing nanowires in LED or solar cell nanowire arrays using a conductive Atomic Force Microscope (C-AFM) instrument. The whole lab work covers various characterization procedures of single nanowires including topography imaging, current mapping, I (V) curve measuring as well as electroluminescence detecting. As one of the key factors in electrical measurements, the control of the contact between the tip and sample has received special attention in the project. The proper choice of various AFM parameters and recommendations for future sample... (More)
