37. The deposition rate of (SnSe2)Nb vapor strongly depends on Ar gas pressure. Qualitatively, within the frame of classical nucleation theory, the number of collisions between deposited atoms and Ar atoms is proportional to the vapor pressure of the background gas; hence, a higher pressure yields a lower mean free path.

42. From the viewpoint of activation energy, a higher growth rate along the c-axis and a lower one perpendicular to the c-axis give Se nanowires that grow preferentially along the unique [001 ] direction. To favor the stronger covalent bonds in helical chains over the relatively weak van der Waals forces between chains, the growth rate along the [001] direction should be faster relative to that along the [010] and [100] directions. See Murphy, K. E.; Altaian, M. B.; Wunderlich, B. J. Appl. Phys. 1977,48,4122. In the early stage of Se ID nanoneedle formation, to reduce the total surface free energy, the Se atoms prefer to stack along one direction, which, makes f-Se an ideal building block for generating ID nanostructures without the assistance of templates.
