- Abstract
- We have grown Au seeded InAs nanowires using chemical beam epitaxy and report on the growth rate
dependence on nanowire diameter. We find a maximum of the growth rate at a nanowire diameter of 25 nm,
below which the growth rate decreases due to the Gibbs-Thomson effect. Above the maximum, the growth rate
decreases with increasing diameter due to the effect of material diffusion to the growth point. A unified model,
which accounts for both the Gibbs-Thomson effect and material diffusion, is presented and successfully
compared to the experiments. From the comparison, we extract the diffusion length on the substrate surface
and a critical diameter, below which nanowire growth ceases, and... (More) - We have grown Au seeded InAs nanowires using chemical beam epitaxy and report on the growth rate
