Vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of lead chalcogenide thin films for infrared sensing applications
… modest cooling requirements. Adapting the vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism traditionally used for growing nanowires to growing PbSe thin films circumvents the very slow adsorption of a gas phase into a solid surface by introducing a catalytic liquid alloy phase, while simultaneously …

Quantitative Fracture Strength of Lithiated Tin Oxide Nanowires by In-Situ SEM Tensile Experiments
… The SnO2 nanowires were synthesized using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism on stainless steel substrates using a gold (Au) catalyst. Ex-situ lithiation of the SnO2 nanowires was performed directly using the stainless steel growth substrates by the electrochemical half-cell method …

Selective lateral nano-epitaxy for manufacturable nanowire electronics
… dissertation provides a comprehensive study on vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of III-V planar nanowires and their electronic device applications. III-V materials, especially high-In-content InGaAs, are considered as a very promising n-channel material candidate for post-Si complementary …

Structure/processing relationships in vapor-liquid-solid nanowire epitaxy
The synthesis of Si and III-V nanowires using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism and low-cost Si substrates was investigated. The VLS mechanism allows fabrication of heterostructures which are not readily attainable using traditional thin-film metalorganic chemical vapor deposition …
