Nucleation-limited composition of Al1-xInxAs nanowires
Abstract
Despite the great advances in synthesis of III-V ternary nanowires over the past decade, there is a lack of understanding and detailed information about Al1-xInxAs nanowire growth. Recently, we have developed an analytical approach for understanding the composition of ternary nanowires nucleating from a quaternary liquid melt. Herein, we use our model to describe the formation of Al1-xInxAs nanowires and tuning their composition within the nucleation-limited regime of nanowire growth via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. In particular, we examine the influence of growth temperature and the total concentrations of group III elements on the liquid-solid composition dependence. The obtained results may be useful for Al1-xInxAs nanowire growth.
