Diameter-Independent Kinetics in the Vapor-Liquid-Solid Growth of Si Nanowires
Abstract
We examine individual Si nanowires grown by the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism, using real-time in situ ultra high vacuum transmission electron microscopy. By directly observing Au-catalyzed growth of Si wires from disilane, we show that the growth rate is independent of wire diameter, contrary to the expected behavior. Our measurements show that the unique rate-limiting step here is the irreversible, kinetically limited, dissociative adsorption of disilane directly on the catalyst surface. We also identify a novel dependence of growth rate on wire taper.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
