Dataset for "GaAs nanowires on Si nanopillars: towards large scale, phase-engineered arrays"

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Didem Dede, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Wonjong Kim, Nicholas Paul Morgan, Lea Ghisalberti, William Craig Carter, Akshay Balgarkashi

Large-scale patterning for vapor-liquid-solid growth of III-V nanowires is a challenge given the required feature size for patterning (45 to 60 nm holes). In fact, arrays are traditionally manufactured using electron-beam lithography,for which processing t ...

Simulating Infiltration as a Sequence of Pinning and De-pinning Processes

Andreas Mortensen, William Craig Carter

The infiltration of a non-wetting liquid, such as molten metal, into a porous solid, such as a ceramic preform, is influenced by the wetting angle of the liquid on the solid. The link between local wetting and the minimum pressure required for initiation o ...

Growth of nanowire arrays from micron-feature templates

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gaëtan Bernard, Martin George Friedl, Wonjong Kim, Dmitry Mikulik, Lea Ghisalberti, Pablo Romero Gómez, William Craig Carter, Christian André Jürgensen

Here, we present a two-step annealing procedure to imprint nanofeatures on SiO2 starting from metallic microfeatures. The first annealing transforms the microfeatures into gold nanoparticles and the second imprints these nanoparticles into the SiO2 layer w ...

Fundamental aspects to localize self-catalyzed III-V nanowires on silicon

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Wonjong Kim, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina, Lea Ghisalberti, Vladimir Dubrovskii, William Craig Carter

III-V semiconductor nanowires deterministically placed on top of silicon electronic platform would open many avenues in silicon-based photonics, quantum technologies and energy harvesting. For this to become a reality, gold-free site-selected growth is nec ...

Impact of the Ga Droplet Wetting, Morphology, and Pinholes on the Orientation of GaAs Nanowires

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Federico Matteini, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Heidi Andrea Potts, Dmitry Mikulik, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Jelena Vukajlovic Plestina, William Craig Carter

Ga-catalyzed growth of GaAs nanowires on Si is a candidate process for achieving seamless III/V integration on IV. In this framework, the nature of silicon's surface oxide is known to have a strong influence on nanowire growth and orientation and therefore ...
