Figure 1
(a), (b) SEM micrographs of NW1 before and after exposure for 1 h, respectively. (c), (d) Normalized low-temperature hyperspectral CL line scans along the NW growth axis before and after exposure (color-coded logarithmic intensity scale), respectively, for NW1. Note that the emission intensity depends sensitively on the positioning of the NW with respect to the focal point of the parabolic mirror so that the absolute intensities of the two line scans cannot be compared directly. (e), (f) SEM micrographs of NW2 before and after exposure for 4 h, respectively. Red and pink dashed circles indicate NW sections illuminated by the peak (P) and tail (T) of the Gaussian beam. Colored arrows indicate the positions at which the EDX measurements shown in Fig. 2 were carried out. The scale bar in (a) corresponds to 1 µm and applies to all SEM images. |
