Nanowire transformation by size-dependent cation exchange reactions.
TL;DR: Transformation of single-crystalline cadmium sulfide nanowires into composition-controlled Zn(x)Cd((1-x))S nanowiring, core-shell heterostructures, metal-semiconductor superlattices, and eventually metallic Zn nanowire structures are reported by utilizing size-dependent cation-exchange reaction along with temperature and gas-phase reactant delivery control.

Vertically aligned crystalline silicon nanowires with controlled diameters for energy conversion applications: Experimental and theoretical insights
TL;DR: In this paper, the optical measurements showed a significant difference in the reflectance/absorption of the SiNWs with different diameters, where reflectance increases with increasing the diameter of the siNWs.

Charged clusters in thin film growth

Abstract: A cauliflower structure is a granular film composed of spherical particles similar in size, each with numerous nanoscale nodules on its surface. The structure is produced during certain chemical vapour deposition (CVD) processes for diamond and silicon thin film growth. A classical account in terms of atomic unit deposition fails to explain the growth of such a cauliflower structure, as it requires a gas phase of much higher supersaturation than for onset of diffusion controlled growth. Another interesting and somewhat puzzling phenomenon encountered during a diamond CVD process is that while diamond is depositing on a graphite substrate, carbon atoms in the graphite itself are etched away into the vapour phase; that is, experience evaporation. Again, an elementary kinetic barrier mechanism fails to explain such CVD deposition of a less stable diamond phase combined with simultaneous evaporation of a stable graphite phase. In order to account for such puzzling CVD phenomena and others, a theory o...

The influence of dislocations on crystal growth
TL;DR: In fact, the existence of a critical finite supersaturation for further growth has only been established for a few materials, and then for individual faces of individual crystals, being different from case to case as discussed by the authors.
