Abstract

An approach to direct the intrinsic electronic transport properties of self-seeded germanium nanowires at room temperature by in situ synthesis conditions is presented. The electrical response is varied between quasi-metallic and p-type semiconductors with memristive signatures. Electron transfer between nanowire core and core-shell surface states governs both conduction regimes and a simplified developed model reproduces the main memristive features.
