Abstract

Data on the formation of lead selenide (PbSe) nanowires under a stencil mask during the processing of epitaxial PbSe films in high-density inductively coupled plasma (ICP) of low-pressure argon RF discharge are presented. The nanowires were studied by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. A physical model is proposed that explains the local formation of PbSe nanowires in terms of their catalytic growth according to the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism.
