Study of patterned GaAsSbN nanowires using sigmoidal model

Abstract This study presents the first report on patterned nanowires (NWs) of dilute nitride GaAsSbN on p-Si (111) substrates by self-catalyzed plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Patterned NW array with GaAsSbN of Sb composition of 3% as a stem provided the best yield of vertical NWs. Large ban...
