Abstract

Aluminium catalyst is trapped during growth of a silicon nanowire from vapour phase at concentrations vastly beyond equilibrium solid solubility, but is homogeneously distributed as atoms and not found as clusters or precipitates; this is a potential route to tailoring the composition and properties of nanowires.
