Influence of catalyst droplet diameter on the growth direction of InP nanowires grown on Si(001) substrate

K. Naji, G. Saint-Girons, and J. Penuelas et al.

It is demonstrated that the growth direction of InP nanowires grown on (001)-oriented silicon substrate strongly depends on the diameter of the gold catalyst droplets. Small droplets with diameter less than about 15 nm lead to the formation of nanowires leaning on the {111} planes of the zinc blen ... [Appl. Phys.
