We have grown the In

As NWs on GaAs(lll), GaAs(100) and Si(lll) substrates via Vapor-Solid-Solid (VSS) mode using MOCVD. We observed that the cylindrical NWs grow perpendicular to the GaAs(lll) substrate. The straight line NWs with an angle of 50.60° to the normal were occurred on GaAs(l00), while kinks NWs were perceived on Si(lll). We found that the growth direction of the In

As NWs can be easily controlled using certain orientation of the substrate by considering its lattice mismatch and its surface energy.
