摘要
In sharp contrast to the general belief in the round shape of In droplets, we report various configurations of In nanostructures. Various configurations of self-assembled In nanostructures are demonstrated by droplet epitaxy on GaAs (100) using molecular beam epitaxy. Square, rectangle, pentagonal geometries and elongated rod-like configurations are realized on GaAs (100). The formation of facets is clearly observed on the top and side of the In nanostructures. Co-existence of both round and square shapes of In nanostructures is captured, which shows the sharp transition between the two.
