We investigate the incorporation of manganese into self-catalyzed GaAs nanowires grown in molecular beam epitaxy. Our study reveals that Mn accumulates in the liquid Ga droplet and that no significant incorporation into the nanowire is observed. Using a sequential crystallization of the droplet, we then demonstrate a deterministic and epitaxial growth of MnAs segments at the nanowire tip. This technique may allow the seamless integration of multiple room-temperature ferromagnetic segments into GaAs nanowires with high-crystalline quality.

The processes of electrochemical deposition of Ni on vertically aligned GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) using Au as a growth catalyst on Si(111) substrates were studied. Based on the results of electrochemical deposition, it was concluded that during the MBE synthesis of NWs the self-induced formation of conductive channels can occur inside NWs, thereby forming quasi core-shell nanowires. Depending on the length of the channel compare to the NW heights and the parameters of electrochemical deposition, the different hybrid metal-semiconductor nanostructures, such as Ni nanoparticles on GaAs NW side walls, Ni clusters on top ends of GaAs NWs, core-shell Ni/GaAs NWs, were obtained.

A thermal diode, which, by analogy to its electrical counterpart, rectifies heat current, is the building block for thermal circuits. To realize a thermal diode, we demonstrate thermal rectification in a GaAs telescopic nanowire system using the thermal bridge method. We measured a preferred direction of heat flux, achieving rectification values ranging from 2 to 8% as a function of applied thermal bias.

This study investigates the growth of gallium arsenide nanowires, using lead as a catalyst. Typically, nanowires are grown through the vapor-solid-liquid mechanism, where a key factor is the reduction in the nucleation barrier beneath the catalyst droplet. Arsenic exhibits limited solubility in conventional catalysts; however, this research explores an alternative scenario in which lead serves as a solvent for arsenic, while gallium and lead are immiscible liquids.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers mapped the three-dimensional strain field and identified how indium content in the shell impacts the strain distribution and plastic relaxation processes.
- * The study found that although axial strains are uniform, radial and tangential strain gradients occur due to strain concentration at interfaces, affecting the growth strategies for these nanowires.

We present a fairly understudied material system suitable for the realization of tunable quantum-dot (QD) emission within the visible-to-near-infrared spectrum (in particular, in the 650-720 nm wavelength range). Specifically, crystal-pure wurtzite gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowires (NWs) are synthesized, incorporating single gallium arsenide phosphide (GaAsP) QDs of various compositions. Detailed growth procedures are outlined, accompanied by an analysis of the synthesis challenges encountered during the realization of these nanostructures and the strategies to solve them.
