“…Ga and As atoms may dissolve in the drop, diffuse through the drop and then crystallize on the drop-whisker interface. To simulate GaAs NW growth according to [17] 6-component system was considered: Au, As2, Ga(s), Ga(liq), As(s) and As(liq) -gold, molecular arsenic, gallium and arsenic in solid and liquid state, respectively. Ga(liq) crystallized only when contacting with As(s) and As(liq) crystallized at the interface only when contacting with Ga(s).…”

GaAs nanowhisker growth according to vapor-liquid-solid mechanism was analyzed using Monte Carlo model. Nanowhisker growth on GaAs(111)B surface activated by golden drops was realized. In the model system some experimentally observed effects were found: change of catalyst drop shape and decrease of NW diameter during growth, Au atom migration from the drop to GaAs surface, Au dissolution in growing whisker.
