The long-term functional success of implant treatment depends on the stability of the crestal bone around the implant platform. The esthetic result is achieved by adequate quality and quantity of soft tissue in the peri-implant area. The soft tissue creates the buffer area that ensures the mechanical and biological protection of the underlying bone.

The minority carrier diffusion lengths and dynamics of both, electrons and holes, were determined directly at the vicinity of the p-n junction. The generated photocurrent shows an exponential decay on both sides of the junction and the extracted diffusion lengths are about 1 order of magnitude lower compared to bulk material due to surface recombination.

A low growth temperature of 400°C is adjusted in order to exclude shell growth. The impact of doping precursors on the morphology of GaAs nanowires was investigated.
