Effects of growth rate on InP nanowires morphology and crystal structure

Abstract

We report the effects of growth rate on the crystal structure of InP nanowires grown on InP (111)B substrate by metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) using gold nanoparticles as catalysts. Results showed that slower growth rate helps to reduce ; Financial support from the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research& Innovation) Office through Network Overseas Attachment Training scheme (Grant9001100),and the RUGS (Grant9314000) is acknowledged. Facilities used in this study are supported by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF) established under Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS).
