Core-shell GaAs–In0.2Ga0.8As zb-NWire with a [111] growth axis and {110} interfaces [Balaghi et al. (2019); reproduced with kind permission of Springer Nature, copyright 2019]. (a) Original elemental distribution in NWire cross section obtained by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. (b) Transmission electron micropscopy image of the NWire region around the internal interface between GaAs and In0.2Ga0.8As, as shown by the yellow square in part (a). The interface is monocrystalline and assumed to be atomically flat. (c) Core-shell NWire cross section with interfaces illustrated and labelled for crystallographic analysis as per number series in Section 4.4. |
