Indium phosphide/indium arsenide phosphide core-shell nanopillars have been prepared by the vapor- liquid-solid method using liquid indium droplets as the catalyst. The indium droplets were generated in situ in the deposition reactor. The hexagonal na . . .

Vertical indium phosphide nanowires have been grown epitaxially on silicon (111) by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Liquid indium droplets were formed in situ and used to catalyze deposition. For growth at 350 °C, about 70% of the wires were vertica . . .
