One-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures have been studied in great depth over the
past number of decades as potential building blocks in electronic, thermoelectric …

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 …

Designing strategies to reach monodispersity in fabrication of semiconductor nanowire
ensembles is essential for numerous applications. When Ga-catalyzed GaAs nanowire …

Semiconductor nanowire arrays are reproducible and rational platforms for the realization of

We determine with high precision the growth rate of self-induced GaN nanowires grown by
molecular beam epitaxy under various conditions from scanning electron micrographs by …

We report on the possibility of interrupting and resuming at will the self-assisted growth of
GaAs nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy. The Ga nanoparticles assisting nanowire …

We present a kinetic growth model having a particular emphasis on the influence of the
group V element on the preferred crystal structure of Au-catalyzed III-V nanowires. The …

Nanowire diameter has a dramatic effect on the absorption cross-section in the optical
domain. The maximum absorption is reached for ideal nanowire morphology within a solar …
