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…
Small numbers of nitrogen dopants dramatically modify the electronic properties of GaAs, generating very large shifts in the conduction-band energies with nonlinear concentration dependence, and impurity-associated spatially-localized…
Capitalizing on the directed nature of the atomic fluxes in molecular beam epitaxy, we propose and demonstrate the sequential directional deposition of lateral (In,Ga)N shells on GaN nanowires. In this approach, a sub-monolayer thickness of…
(In,Ga) alloy droplets are used to catalyse the growth of (In,Ga)As nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates. The composition, morphology and optical properties of these nanowires can be tuned by the employed elemental…
In this paper we present a detailed analysis of the atomic and electronic structure of GaAs nanowires using first-principles pseudopotential calculations. We consider six different types of nanowires with different diameters all grown along…
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…
GaAs-based nanowires hosting active quantum heterostructures provide a promising route toward monolithic integration of single-photon sources on silicon, a key requirement for scalable quantum photonics. However, ultrathin axial…
This work reports optical and electronic numerical modelling of a novel emerging structure which is the GaAs nanocrystal on Si tandem solar cell by epitaxial lateral overgrowth, a technique which allows defect free material growth. The…
We report on experimental determination of the strain and bandgap of InAsP in epitaxially grown InAsP-InP core-shell nanowires. The core-shell nanowires are grown via metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The as-grown nanowires are…
InAs nanowires were grown on GaAs substrates by the Au-assisted vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) method in a gas source molecular beam epitaxy (GS-MBE) system. Passivation of the InAs nanowires using InP shells proved difficult due to the tendency…
Breakthroughs extending nanostructure engineering beyond what is possible with current fabrication techniques will be crucial for enabling next-generation nanotechnologies. Nanoepitaxy of strain-engineered bent nanowire heterostructures…
Semiconductor core$-$shell nanowires based on the GaAs substrate are building blocks of many photonic, photovoltaic and electronic devices, thanks to the associated direct band-gap and the highly tunable optoelectronic properties. The…

(Ga,Mn)As in wurtzite crystal structure, is coherently grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the {1100} side facets of wurtizte (Ga,In)As nanowires and further encapsulated by (Ga,Al)As and low temperature GaAs. For the first time a true…
Theoretically core-multishell nanowires under a cross-section of hexagonal geometry should exhibit peculiar confinement effects. Using a hard X-ray nanobeam, here we show experimental evidence for carrier localization phenomena at the…

Thin crystalline layers of TaAs Weyl semimetal (9 and 18 nm thick) are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs(001) substrates. The (001) planes of the tetragonal TaAs lattice are parallel to the GaAs(001) substrate, but the corresponding…
