title = "The mean inner potential of GaN measured from nanowires using off-axis electron holography",
abstract = "The mean inner potentials of wurtzite GaN nanowires are measured using off-axis electron holography in the transmission electron microscope (TEM). The nanowires have a circular cross-section and are suspended across holes in a holey carbon film, resulting in an accurate knowledge of their thickness profiles and orientations. They are also free of the implantation and damage that is present in mechanically-polished ion-milled TEM specimens. The effect of a thin amorphous coating, which is present on the surfaces of the nanowires, on measurements of their mean inner potential is assessed. A value for the mean inner potential of GaN of (16.7± 0.3) V is obtained from these samples.",
