Abstract

Picosecond acoustic pulses, generated in a thin aluminum transducer, are injected into semiconductor vertical transport devices consisting of core-shell GaAsP nanowires. The acoustic pulses induce current pulses in the device with amplitude ∼1 μA. The spectrum of the electrical response is sensitive to the elastic properties of the device and has a frequency cutoff at ∼10 GHz. This work shows the potential of the technique for studies the elastic properties of complex semiconductor nanodevices.
