Nanowires are filamentary crystals with a tailored diameter that can be obtained using a
plethora of different synthesis techniques. In this review, we focus on the vapor phase …

Semiconductor nanowires have demonstrated exciting properties for nanophotonics,
sensors, energy technologies, and end-of-roadmap and beyond-roadmap electronic …

Nucleation theory provides a powerful tool for growth modeling of a variety of objects: from
liquid droplets to thin solid films and biological structures. Theoretical approaches based on …

Methane hydrate is an icelike substance that is stable at high pressure and low temperature
in continental margin sediments. Since the discovery of a large number of gas flares at the …

We develop a quantitative model of the self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth of GaAs
nanowires, that depends on only a few a priori unknown physical parameters. The model is …

III–V-based nanowires usually exhibit random mixtures of wurtzite (WZ) and zinc blende (ZB)
crystal structure, and pure crystal phase wires represent the exception rather than the rule. In …

Epitaxial growth of GaN nanowires on graphene is demonstrated using molecular beam
epitaxy without any catalyst or intermediate layer. Growth is highly selective with respect to …

A cornerstone in the successful application of semiconductor nanowire devices is controlled
impurity do**. In this review article, we discuss the key results in the field of semiconductor …

Nanowire (NW) crystal growth via the vapour–liquid–solid mechanism is a complex dynamic
process involving interactions between many atoms of various thermodynamic states. With …

In this paper we introduce a new paradigm for nanowire growth that explains the unwanted
appearance of parasitic nonvertical nanowires. With a crystal structure polarization analysis …
