摘要: Abstract The surface diffusion process substantially influences the epitaxial growth of semiconductor nanowires. spontaneous incorporation Ga and uniform axial-distribution over long ZnO nanowires are experimentally observed, which is attributed to on sidewalls. existence abundant oxygen vacancies nanowire sidewalls greatly enhances diffusion. Simulation dynamics performed, strong bond energy between O atoms verified. With assistance an vacancy, barrier for decreased from 1.26 0.85 eV, resulting in a two orders magnitude increase coefficient. present work demonstrates key role enhanced impurity during nanostructured semiconductors.
