Abstract
A kinetic model of growth and formation of the crystal structure of gallium arsenide nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on surfaces activated by Au drops is developed. The thicknesses of alternating layers of cubic and hexagonal phases formed due to fluctuations of the solution composition in the drop are calculated and compared with experimental data.
