In this paper, we successfully grow GaAs/GaSb core-shell heterostructure nanowires (NWs) by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The as-grown GaSb shell layer forms a wurtzite structure instead of the zinc blende structure that has been commonly reported. Meanwhile, a bulgy GaSb nanoplate also appears on top of GaAs/GaSb core-shell NWs and possesses a pure zinc blende phase. The growth mode for core-shell morphology and underlying mechanism for crystal phase selection of GaAs/GaSb nanowire heterostructures are discussed in detail.
在本文中,我们通过分子束外延(MBE)成功生长了GaAs/GaSb核壳异质结构纳米线(NWs)。生长出的GaSb壳层形成的是纤锌矿结构,而非通常报道的闪锌矿结构。同时,在GaAs/GaSb核壳纳米线顶部还出现了一个凸起的GaSb纳米板,且具有纯闪锌矿相。我们详细讨论了GaAs/GaSb纳米线异质结构的核壳形态生长模式以及晶相选择的潜在机制。
