Effect of Sn for the dislocation-free SiSn nanostructure formation on the vapor-liquid-crystal mechanism

Structures with tin-rich island arrays on silicon pedestals were obtained by molecular beam epitaxy using Sn as a catalyst for the growth of nanostructures. A tin island array was used further to study the growth of nanostructures in the process of Si deposition on the surface with Sn islands. It wa...
