Controlled formation of non-equilibrium crystal structures is one of the most important
challenges in crystal growth. Catalytically grown nanowires are ideal systems for studying …

Methane hydrate is an icelike substance that is stable at high pressure and low temperature
in continental margin sediments. Since the discovery of a large number of gas flares at the …

We develop a quantitative model of the self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth of GaAs
nanowires, that depends on only a few a priori unknown physical parameters. The model is …

Selective-area growth is a promising technique for enabling of the fabrication of the scalable
III–V nanowire networks required to test proposals for Majorana-based quantum computing …

We report on the epitaxial growth of large-area position-controlled self-catalyzed GaAs
nanowires (NWs) directly on Si by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Nanohole patterns are …

Nanowire growth has generally relied on an initial particle of a catalyst such as Au to define
the wire diameter and stabilize the growth. Self-catalyzed growth of III–V nanowires avoids …

III–V semiconductor nanowires have shown great potential in various quantum transport
experiments. However, realizing a scalable high-quality nanowire-based platform that could …
