A model is proposed for the radial growth of III-V nanowires (NWs) in vapor phase epitaxy on masked substrates, which provides explicitly the NW radius as a function of its length. Analytical solutions are obtained for the NW radius in different stages of growth. A comparison of the model with the data on the growth kinetics of GaAs NWs is presented and a good correlation with the data is demonstrated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
