15. For additional discussion of QD on NW growth, see Pan, L.; Lew, K.-K.; Redwing, J. M.; Dickey, E. C. Nano Lett. 2005, 5, 1081. In that instance, the growth of Ge QDs on Si NWs involved a transition from layer-by-layer to island growth- the Stranski-Krastanov growth mode. The smaller lattice mismatch and lower Ge mobility lead to a higher density of QDs than that observed here.

21. Under our growth conditions, nanowires were wurtzite or wurtzite with stacking faults. This is, in general, in agreement with a systematic study of the effect of growth conditions on the crystal structure of InAs nanowires described in ref 18. In general, they found that the wurtzite structure was favored over zinc blende at higher growth temperatures and larger V-III precursor ratios.
