21. C. J. Novotny and P. K. L. Yu, Appl. Phys. Lett. 87, 203111 (2005). These authors found that initial annealing of the substrate led to surface reconstruction of this substrate and an In-rich condition of this. Trimethylindium, impinged on such surface, decomposed leaving an excess of In adatoms on it due to the lack of available P dangling bonds. These excess adatoms together produced In liquid droplets on the substrate surface, and InP nanowires nucleated and grew from these In droplets.
