摘要: Abstract Nanowires are widely regarded as building blocks for next-generation devices because of their unique characteristics, particularly morphology. The vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) system has attracted much attention a standard method obtaining nanowires. Although there many studies, the VLS mechanism is still not fully understood. We have investigated thermodynamics and kinetics growth mechanism, focusing on composition catalyst reaction species. elucidated definition chemical potential each phase based diagram origin transition driving force, between liquid solid phases. equilibrium state can be altered by species composition, shape factor, nanowire diameter, which changes phase. In addition, we show flow particles relationship with during steady growth.
