The difference between island and nanowire growth is at least in part due to the catalytic nature of Au in the VLS process; nanowires are most successfully grown from compound (gas) sources and not from elemental effusion sources such as the one used in the present study. In addition, island location away from Au sites is likely related to the lattice misfit between Ge and Si as we have found that Ge deposition on a Au-decorated Ge surface results in Ge island growth at Au sties.
