Au-assisted growth of InAs nanowire by molecular beam epitaxy is highly governed by the surface diffusion kinetics on the surface and the sidewalls of the growing nanowire. In this paper, we discuss the effects of growth temperature, As/In flux ratio, substrate orientation on the growth of InAs nano

β¦ Synopsis
Surface diffusion kinetics plays a major role in the growth of III-V nanowires by the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) technique. As/In flux is one of the key factors in determining the diffusion length, which eventually affect the growth rate, morphology and length of the InAs nanowire. To identify a better growth condition and to attain a maximum growth rate and longer diffusion length, a systematic analysis has been carried out on the growth of InAs nanowire by varying In-and As-flux. The results have shown that the growth rate and length of the nanowires can be improved to a maximum of 3.8 nm/s and 14 mm, respectively, which is found to be the maximum by the MBE technique in the available reports.

We report on the particle diameter dependence of the growth rate of the InSb segment of InAs-InSb heterostructured nanowires grown by chemical beam epitaxy. The analysis of the growth rate reveals that the growth is limited by the Gibbs-Thomson effect and the effect of NW lateral dimensions on the n
