Abstract
This study explores the nucleation and morphological evolution of silicon nanowires (Si-NWs) on Si (0 0 1) and (1 1 1) substrates
synthesized using nanoscale Au–Si island-catalyzed rapid thermal ... materials

VLS processes, the diameter and alignment of the NWs can
be readily controlled by the size...
