Structural Characterisation of GaP <111 > B Nanowires by HRTEM

Author

Summary, in English

GaP < 111 > B nanowires are dominated by (111) twins orthogonal to the growth direction and show well-developed {111} side-facets. Based on this, a 3D-model has been constructed with a cross-section of an octahedron used as a building block. The twins can be of ortho- or para type i.e. by 60 degrees about the growth axis or 180 degrees in the twin plane. The segment thickness variation follows an exponential distribution with a clear dependence oil growth ternperature. Multislice simulations show different features of the twin types that are useful for further characterisation.
