Vapor-liquid-solid and vapor-solid growth of self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires

We report on the morphological and structural properties of GaAs nanowires nucleated by self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid processes by molecular beam epitaxy on Si-treated GaAs substrates. We found that GaAs nanowires display zincblende and/or wurtzite phase depending on the As/Ga abundance ratio at...
