Abstract

The oxide-assisted method for the synthesis of gallium arsenide nanowires reported here has the advantage of requiring neither a metal catalyst nor a template, which simplifies the purification and subsequent application of the wires. An SEM image of the nanowires is shown in the Figure. The results of a TEM examination are reported and a growth mechanism is proposed. © WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, D-69469 Weinheim, 2001
