The multifunctional (dielectric and electronically conducting) passivating layers described here achieved several orders of magnitude improvement in minority carrier lifetime (>2 ms) compared to bare silicon (~30 μs), and remained stable in air for over 200 h.
Time-resolved photoluminescence measurements of the GaAs NWs at their emission peak also showed that the minority carrier lifetime was reduced from 1.5 ns (bare NW) to 0.5 ns (NW coupled to an Ω-shaped Ω-shaped Auty) (Fig. 5g).
