Surface evolution of native silicon oxide layer and its effects on the growth of self-assisted VLS GaAs nanowires

This research focuses on the impact of native SiO2 layer evolution, occurring on the surfaces of Si(111) substrates on the morphological and structural properties of self-assisted GaAs nanowires. GaAs nanowires growth were grown on Si(111) substrates, already covered with native SiO2 developing in d...
