Semiconducting III-V nanowires are not only an auspicious material system for future nanoelectronic devices, such as nanoscaled field-effect transistors, ultra-violet light-emitting diodes or other optoelectronic applications, but also an ideal model system for studying mesoscopic effects. Therefore, the transport properties of single Ge-doped GaN nanowires are investigated. Measurements reveal universal conductance fluctuations as well as a weak localization effect. The phase coherence length lφ was obtained by analyzing the quantum interference effects. For slightly doped nanowires inelastic electron-electron scattering seems to be the dominant phase breaking mechanism at low temperatures, whereas for highly doped nanowires quasi-elastic Nyquist-scattering appear to be more prominent. Temperature dependent analysis of the UCFs for different doping levels reveal a quasi one-dimensional transport behavior due to a surface depletion layer in slightly doped nanowires. In contrast, highly doped nanowires seem to have a less confined transport channel.
