Preferential Interface Nucleation: An Expansion of the VLS Growth Mechanism for Nanowires
Brent A. Wacaser,Kimberly A. Dick,Jonas Johansson,Magnus T. Borgström,Knut Deppert,Lars Samuelson +5 more
TL;DR: A review and expansion of the fundamental processes of the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism for nanowires is presented in this paper, where most of the concepts may be applicable to whiskers, nanotubes, and other unidirectional growth.

Position-controlled [100] InP nanowire arrays
J Jia Wang,Sebastien Plissard,Moïra Hocevar,Tran Thanh Thuy Vu,Tilman Zehender,George Immink,Marcel A. Verheijen,Jos E. M. Haverkort,Erik P. A. M. Bakkers +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the growth of vertically standing zincblende InP nanowire arrays on InP (100) substrates in the vapor-liquid-solid growth mode using low-pressure metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy was investigated by electron beam lithography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ti-catalyzed Si nanowires by chemical vapor deposition: Microscopy and growth mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy shows that the Ti-containing nanoparticles remain at the tip of the growing wires and the estimated diffusion coefficient of Si in TiSi2 is consistent with the catalyzing nanoparticle remaining in the solid phase during nanowire growth.

Face-selective electrostatic control of hydrothermal zinc oxide nanowire synthesis
Jaebum Joo,Brian Y. Chow,Brian Y. Chow,Manu Prakash,Manu Prakash,Manu Prakash,Edward S. Boyden,Joseph M. Jacobson +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermodynamics-based model was introduced to explain the underlying growth inhibition mechanism by means of the competitive and face-selective electrostatic adsorption of non-zinc complex ions at alkaline conditions.

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.
