9. We have also studied the case of GaAs/GaP [111] NWs which are known for their stacking faults along the growth direction. In such a case, the CDI signal recorded is essentially be a function of the faults nature and distribution along the NW axis, instead of the shape and elastic deformation of the wire.

13. Note that this approach is only correct as long as the crystal consists of complete unit cells-a reasonable approximation as long as the dimensions of the wire are much larger than the unit-cell parameters.

18. As the NW is much longer (several μm vs 100nm), the FT of its shape is essentially 2D.
19. The optimization used 200 to 400 cycles, with a fixed square support more than twice the size of the NW and was repeated 400 times to avoid stagnation.
