Using a multi-tip STM as nanoprober to explore the electrical transport properties of freestanding p-doped GaAs nanowires, we revealed a highly increased resistivity in the nanowire base, which caused bad contact to the substrate. This high resistance can be explained by a charge carrier depletion through the whole nanowire cross section due to Fermi level pinning at surface states. To explore this, Zn-doped GaAs nanowires were grown by Au-assisted metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) in the vapor-liquid-solid growth mode with different growth procedures. We measured and analyzed I/V characteristics and resistance profiles to understand the conduction mechanisms and band bending along these nanowires.
