Abstract
Content

One-dimensional nanowires are of increasing interest due to their size, physical properties, and other applications in opto-electronics. For example, nanowires have already been used in light-emitting diodes and lasers, photo-detectors, resonant tunneling diodes, field-effect and single-electron transistors, and biochemical sensors. In addition, nanowires are useful because they can be grown almost dislocation-free due to their nano dimension. When dislocation- free nanowires nucleated on the substrate merge to form a continuous film, voids are left underneath, which act as sinks for dislocations, allowing other structures to be grown stress-free on top of the nano-engineered buffer layer.
