InGaN/GaN nanowire heterostructures (NWHs) show a high sensitivity of their photoluminescence (PL) intensity to the ambient atmosphere rendering them as promising candidates for gas-sensor applications with all-optical readout in the visible spectral range. InGaN/GaN NWHs were grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Exposure to ppm-concentrations of oxygen leads to a quenching of the PL intensity. This PL response behaviour is investigated for undoped and Ge-doped InGaN/GaN NWHs. A comparison with GaN NWs yields much longer (≈10x) response times of undoped InGaN/GaN NWHs. These time constants, however, can be significantly reduced by Ge-doping. Possible mechanisms will be discussed. Additionally, InGaN/GaN NWHs covered with CeO2 were investigated in order to assess the potential of NWHs for an optical detection of ad-/desorption processes at catalytic materials.
