In situ off-axis electron holography of real-time dopant diffusion in GaAs nanowires
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Off-axis electron holography was used to reveal remote doping in GaAs nanowires occurring during in situ annealing in a transmission electron microscope. Dynamic changes to the electrostatic potential caused by carbon dopant diffusion upon annealing were measured across GaAs nanowires with radial p-p+ core–shell junctions. Electrostatic potential profiles were extracted from holographic phase maps and built-in potentials ( V bi ) and depletion layer widths (DLWs) were estimated as function of temperature over 300–873 K. Simulations in absence of remote doping predict a significant increase of V bi and DLWs with temperature. In contrast, we measured experimentally a nearly constant V bi and a weak increase of DLWs. Moreover, we observed the appearance of a depression in the potential profile of the core upon annealing. We attribute these deviations from the predicted behavior to carbon diffusion from the shell to the core through the nanowire sidewalls, i.e. to remote doping, becoming significant at 673 K. The DLW in the p and p+ regions are in the 10–30 nm range.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
