Evolution of morphology and microstructure of GaAs/GaSb nanowire heterostructures
In this paper, we successfully grow GaAs/GaSb core-shell heterostructure nanowires (NWs) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The as-grown GaSb shell layer forms a wurtzite structure instead of the zinc blende structure that has been commonly reported. Meanwhile, a bulgy GaSb nanoplate also appears on top of GaAs/GaSb core-shell NWs and possesses a pure zinc blende phase. The growth mode for core-s...
متن کاملCalculation of critical dimensions for wurtzite and cubic zinc blende coaxial nanowire heterostructures
We employ a methodology, based on established approaches for determining the critical thickness for strain relaxation in planar films, to determine critical dimensions for coherently strained coaxial nanowire heterostructures. The model is developed and executed for various specific core-shell heterostructures in 111 zinc blende and 0001 wurtzite geometries. These calculations reveal that criti...
متن کاملWhy does wurtzite form in nanowires of III-V zinc blende semiconductors?
We develop a nucleation-based model to explain the formation of the wurtzite phase during the catalyzed growth of freestanding nanowires of zinc blende semiconductors. We show that in vapor-liquid-solid nanowire growth, nucleation generally occurs preferentially at the triple phase line. This entails major differences between zinc blende and wurtzite nuclei. Depending on the pertinent interface...
متن کاملAnisotropic photonic properties of III-V nanowires in the zinc-blende and wurtzite phase.
Some critical aspects of the anisotropic absorption and emission properties of quasi one-dimensional structures are reviewed in the context of III-V compound semiconductor nanowires. The unique optical and electronic properties of III-V nanowires stem from the combination of dielectric effects due to their large aspect ratio, and their specific crystallographic structure which can differ signif...
متن کاملEvidence for structural phase transitions induced by the triple phase line shift in self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires.
Self-catalyzed growth of GaAs nanowires are widely ascribed to the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism due to the presence of Ga particles at the nanowire tips. Here we report synthesis of self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires by molecular-beam epitaxy covering a large growth parameter space. By carefully controlling the Ga flux and its ratio with the As flux, GaAs nanowires without Ga particles and exh...
