21. This is below the eutectic point of Au-In (454°C) and of Au-In-As (580°C, unpublished calculations). However, these experiments do not prove whether the particle is solid or liquid during growth. In any case the particle still enhances the wire growth.
22. -4 mbar, meaning that the source molecules impinge as homogeneous beams perpendicular to the sample surface. Thus, no gas phase exists, which results in a precise control of the material reaching the sample.
