abstract = {InAs nanowires that grow catalyst-free along the [111]
crystallographic orientation are prone to
wurtzite-zincblende polytypism, making the control of the
crystal phase highly challenging. In this work, we explore
the dynamic relation between the growth conditions and the
structural composition of the nanowires using time-resolved
X-ray scattering and diffraction measurements during the
growth by molecular beam epitaxy. A spontaneous buildup of
liquid indium is directly observed in the beginning of the
growth process and associated with the simultaneous
nucleation of InAs nanowires predominantly in the wurtzite
phase. The highly arsenic-rich growth conditions that we
used limited the existence of the liquid indium to a short
time interval, which is defined as the nucleation phase.
After their nucleation, the nanowires grow in the absence of
liquid indium, and with a highly defective wurtzite
structure. Complementary ex-situ diffuse X-ray scattering
measurements and modeling revealed that this structural
degradation is due to the formation of densely spaced
stacking faults. Thus, high wurtzite phase purity is
associated with the presence of liquid indium. This finding
implies that pure wurtzite nanowires may be obtained only if
the growth is performed under the continuous presence of
liquid indium at the growth interface, that is, in the
vapor–liquid–solid mode.},
