Growth, branching, and kinking of molecular-beam epitaxial 〈110〉 GaAs nanowires
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of strain-induced reduction in surface free energy is discussed as a possible factor contributing to the evolution of GaAs nanowires, and it is attributed to growth instabilities resulting from equivalent surface free energies for 〈110〉 growth directions.

Influence of Cu as a catalyst on the properties of silicon nanowires synthesized by the vapour?solid?solid mechanism
Jordi Arbiol,Billel Kalache,Pere Roca i Cabarrocas,Joan Ramon Morante,Anna Fontcuberta i Morral,Anna Fontcuberta i Morral +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis reveals significant new properties of the nanowires obtained, which have the peculiarity of successively switching the silicon structure from diamond to the wurtzite phase along the growth direction.

Growth and electrical transport of germanium nanowires
Gang Gu,Marko Burghard,Gyu Tae Kim,G. S. Düsberg,Po-Wen Chiu,Vojislav Krstić,S. Roth,Wei-Qiang Han +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, single crystalline germanium nanowires were synthesized from gold nanoparticles based on a vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism using argon as a carrier gas.

Molecular Dynamics Study of the Catalyst Particle Size Dependence on Carbon Nanotube Growth
Feng Ding,Arne Rosén,Kim Bolton +2 more
TL;DR: The molecular dynamics method, based on an empirical potential energy surface, was used to study the effect of catalyst particle size on the growth mechanism and structure of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and found that large catalyst particles, which contain at least 20 iron atoms, nucleate SWNTs that have a far better tubular structure than SW NTs nucleated from smaller clusters.

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.

Epitaxial Silicon Films by the Hydrogen Reduction of SiCl4
TL;DR: In this article, the basic chemistry and reaction kinetics pertinent to the growth of these films are discussed in detail in detail, including the hydrogen reduction of silicon tetrachloride appropriately doped with or.
