摘要
This work addresses the evolution of radius distribution function in self-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid growth of GaAs nanowires from Ga droplets. Different growth regimes are analyzed depending on the V/III flux ratio. In particular, we find a very unusual self-equilibration regime in which the radius distribution narrows up to a certain stationary radius regardless of the initial size distribution of Ga droplets. This requires that the arsenic vapor flux is larger than the gallium one and that the V/III influx imbalance is compensated by a diffusion flux of gallium adatoms. Approximate analytical solution is compared to the numerical radius distribution obtained by solving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation by the implicit difference scheme.
