Thermodynamics of Silicon Nanowire Growth under Unintended Oxidation of Catalytic Particles

In this paper, we focus on the thermodynamics of redox reactions occurring during the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of silicon nanowires (NWs) with the participation of liquid solutions of metal catalysts. The growth of NWs is difficult with the participation of Ti, Al, and Mg particles; this is b...
