This study demonstrates the growth of hexagonal Ge on self-assisted GaAs nanowires using molecular beam epitaxy without the use of gold catalyst. The hexagonal Ge maintains the crystal phase of the core, which is a significant finding for future development of photonic technologies.
Hexagonal group IV materials like silicon and germanium are expected to display remarkable optoelectronic properties for future development of photonic technologies. However, the fabrication of hexagonal group IV semiconductors within the vapor-liquid-solid method has been obtained using gold as a catalyst thus far. In this letter, we show the synthesis of hexagonal Ge on self-assisted GaAs nanowires using molecular beam epitaxy. With an accurate tuning of the Ga and As molecular beam flux, we selected the crystal phase, cubic or hexagonal, of the GaAs NWs during the growth. A 500-nm-long hexagonal segment of Ge with high structural quality and without any visible defects is obtained, and we show that Ge keeps the crystal phase of the core using scanning transmission electron microscopy. Finally X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy reveals a strong incorporation of As in the Ge. This study demonstrates the first growth of hexagonal Ge in the Au-free approach, integrated on silicon substrate.
