The impacts of surface conditions on the vapor-liquid-solid growth of germanium nanowires on Si (100) substrate [PDF]
The impacts of surface conditions on the growth of Ge nanowires on a Si (100) substrate are discussed in detail. On SiO2-terminated Si substrates, high-density Ge nanowires can be easily grown. However, on H-terminated Si substrates, growing Ge nanowires
