• Nanowire Solar Cells (2011, background): “The most commonly cited is the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism, which uses a metal catalyst that forms a liquid eutectic with the desired nanowire material (25, 27).”
• Doping of semiconductor nanowires (2011, background): “However, the lower surface energy of the B nucleus is one possible, and quite general, mechanism, with which the experimentally observed NW growth [41, 43, 50] can be explained.”
