Abstract

The structural properties of MBE-grown GaAs and Al0.3Ga0.7 As nanowhiskers were studied. The formation of wurtzite and 4H-polytype hexagonal structures with characteristic sizes of 100 nm or larger in these materials was demonstrated. It is concluded that the Au-Ga activation alloy symmetry influences the formation of the hexagonal structure.
