Martin Ek's manuscript titled "Atomic-scale Choreography of Vapor-Liquid-Solid Nanowire Growth" was accepted to Accounts of Chemical Research. He reviews our state-of-the-art understanding of the atomic-scale thermodynamic and kinetic phenomena that control the vapor-liquid-solid growth of semiconductor nanowires. Congratulations!
Top-down view of the vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism forming nanoscale crystals with embedded heterogeneity. Several sub-processes are illustrated, some only recently discovered, that must be precisely choreographed to produce the desired structures.
