Controlling semiconductor nanowire crystal structures via surface chemistry

This thesis introduces a new route to control the structure of semiconductor nanowires using surface chemistry. Specifically, in Au-catalyzed Si nanowire growth using hydride species (Si₂H₆) as growth precursors, we demonstrate that the surface hydrogen existing on the nanowires sidewalls affects th...
