Analysis of vapor-liquid-solid mechanism in Au-assisted GaAs nanowire growth
Jean-Christophe Harmand,Gilles Patriarche,Nicolas Péré-Laperne,M. N. Mérat-Combes,Laurent Travers,Frank Glas +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure and composition of the metallic particles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, and three different metallic compounds were identified: the hexagonal β′Au7Ga2 structure, the orthorhombic AuGa structure, and an almost pure Au face centered cubic structure.

Properties, synthesis, and growth mechanisms of carbon nanotubes with special focus on thermal chemical vapor deposition
TL;DR: Important considerations for in situ characterization and new reactor designs that may enable researchers to better understand the physical growth mechanisms and to optimize the synthesis of CNTs are illustrated, thus contributing to make carbon nanotubes a manufacturing reality.

Temperature‐Controlled Catalytic Growth of ZnS Nanostructures by the Evaporation of ZnS Nanopowders
TL;DR: Based on the appearance of the as-synthesized products, this paper showed that substrate temperature and catalyst are the critical factors for controlling the size and the structure of various kinds of ZnS nanostructures, such as nanorods, nanowires, nanobelts and nanosheets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Screw dislocation driven growth of nanomaterials.
TL;DR: It is shown that the dislocation-driven growth mechanism, where screw dislocation defects provide self-perpetuating growth steps to enable the anisotropic growth of various nanomaterials at low supersaturation, can be a powerful and versatile synthetic method for a wide variety of nanommaterials.

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.
