Abstract

Dysprosium silicide was observed to form nanowires (NW) on Si(110) with a single orientation and a narrow, well-defined width. The single orientation and the NW shape were found to be dictated by the twofold symmetry of the substrate. The NW sides grow into the substrate along inclined Si{111} planes, forming a V-shaped cross section with an interface that is coherent on one side. This type of growth represents a physical mechanism for self-assembled NW formation that does not require lattice mismatch.
