Abstract

Gallium arsenide (GaAs) nanowires were formed on (100)-oriented gallium antimonide (GaSb) substrates through molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using only elemental gallium and arsenic. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) reveals nanowires that are 3.81-5.86 μm long with diameter in the range 458-900 nm. SEM also shows the nanowires originate from craters on the gallium arsenide surface.
