We investigate the structural and optical properties of spontaneously formed GaN nanowires with different degrees of coalescence. This quantity is determined by an analysis of the cross-sectional area and perimeter of the nanowires obtained…
We investigate in detail the self-assembled nucleation and growth of GaN nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on crystalline TiN films. We demonstrate that this type of substrate allows the growth of long and thin GaN nanowires that do not…
We demonstrate a new method to measure absorption coefficients in any family of nanowires, provided they are grown on a substrate having considerable difference in permittivity with the nanowire-air matrix. In the case of high crystal…
Top-down fabricated GaN nanowires, 250 nm in diameter and with various heights, have been used to experimentally determine the evolution of strain along the vertical direction of 1-dimensional objects. X-ray diffraction and…
We investigate the strain state of ensembles of thin and nearly coalescence-free self-assembled GaN nanowires prepared by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Ti/Al$_{2}$O$_{3}(0001)$ substrates. The shifts of Bragg peaks in…
GaN-nanorods grown on Si(111) substrates are found strain- and defect-free as characterized by micro Raman spectroscopy, secondary electron (SE) and cathode-luminescence (CL) imaging. The matrix supporting the nanorods bears the brunt of…
The present study elucidates the correlation between the structural and optical properties of GaN nanowires grown on Si(111) substrate by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) technique under various growth conditions. GaN NWs…
Self assembled AlN nanowires (NWs) are grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) on SiO2 / Si (111) substrates. Using a combination of in-situ reflective high energy electron diffraction and ex situ X ray diffraction (XRD), we…
Single GaN nanowires formed spontaneously on a given substrate represent nanoscopic single crystals free of any extended defects. However, due to the high area density of thus formed GaN nanowire ensembles, individual nanowires coalesce…
In molecular beam epitaxy, the spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires on Si(111) substrates at elevated temperatures is limited by the long incubation time that precedes nanowire nucleation. In this work, we present three unconventional…
We investigate the influence of modified growth conditions during the spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires on Si(111) in plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We find that a two-step growth approach, where the substrate temperature is…
GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Ti films sputtered on Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). XRD, performed both in symmetric Bragg…
500-nm-thick $\mathrm{In}_{x}\mathrm{Ga}_{1-x}\mathrm{N}$ layers with $x=$ 0.05-0.14 are grown using plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy, and their properties are assessed by a comprehensive analysis involving x-ray diffraction,…
GaAs:Mn nanowires were obtained on GaAs(001) and GaAs(111)B substrates by molecular beam epitaxial growth of (Ga,Mn)As at conditions leading to MnAs phase separation. Their density is proportional to the density of catalyzing MnAs…
We demonstrate the self-assembled growth of vertically aligned GaN nanowire ensembles on a flexible Ti foil by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The analysis of single nanowires by transmission electron microscopy reveals that they…
The self-assembly of heteroepitaxial GaN nanowires using either molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) mostly results in wafer-scale ensembles with ultrahigh ($>10$ $\mu$m$^{-2}$) or ultralow ($<1$…
Mn-doped GaAs nanowires were grown in the self-catalytic growth mode on oxidized Si(100) surface by molecular beam epitaxy and characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy, Raman scattering, photoluminescence,…
We demonstrate the self-assembled formation of AlN nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on sputtered TiN films on sapphire. This choice of substrate allows growth at an exceptionally high temperature of 1180 {\deg}C. In contrast to previous…
We present direct evidence of enhanced Ga interdiffusion in InAs free-standing nanowires grown at moderate temperatures by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs (111)B. Scanning electron microscopy together with X-ray diffraction measurements in…
AlN layers with thicknesses between 2 and 14 nm were grown on Si(111) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. The effect of the AlN layer thickness on the morphology and nucleation time of spontaneously formed GaN nanowires (NWs) was…
