Solution–Liquid–Solid Growth of Soluble GaAs Nanowires

Abstract

GaAs nanowires exhibiting narrow diameter distributions and small diameters within and near the strong‐confinement regime can be generated using the solution–liquid–solid (SLS) mechanism (see Figure for 5.99 nm diameter wires). A relationship between the mean diameters of the nanowires and the indium catalyst nanoparticles from which the nanowires are grown is furthermore established.
