Light-controlled organic/inorganic P-N junction nanowires.
P-N junctions are of great importance both in modern electronic applications and in understanding other semiconductor devices. Organic/inorganic P-N junction nanowires composed of functional organic molecules and inorganic molecules may be able to realize new or improved chemical and physical properties that were not observed in the individual component on nanosize and their bulk materials. We report herein the fabrication of the organic/inorganic semiconductor P-N junction nanowire and the remarkable performance on the light-controlled diode within a single hybrid P-N junction nanowire. Controlling the conductivity of the P-N junction nanowire by the light irradiation simply to achieve diode work indicates a new way to realize the photoelectric integration in a single nanowire device.
