摘要
The processes of growth of self-catalyzed GaAs crystal nanowires on Si (111) surfaces modified by three different methods are studied. For the technology of production of the GaAs nanowires, molecular-beam epitaxy is used. It is found that, in the range of substrate temperatures between 610 and 630A degrees C, the surface density of nanowires and their diameter sharply increases, whereas the temperature dependence of the nanowire length exhibits a maximum at 610A degrees C. An increase in the temperature to 640A degrees C suppresses the formation of nanowires. The method that provides a means for the fabrication of purely cubic GaAs nanowires is described. A theoretical justification of the formation of the cubic phase in self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires is presented.
