| Abstract |
This article describes an innovative approach in which bimetallic alloy seeds of AuxAg1-x are used to enhance the growth kinetics of Ge nanowires, via a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth technique. The decreased equilibrium concentration and increased supersaturation of Ge in the liquid alloy seeds, compared to pure Au seeds, results in favorable growth kinetics and the realization of high-aspect ratio millimeter-long Ge nanowires. Also detailed is the manifestation of the Gibbs-Thompson effect resulting in diameter-dependent nanowire growth rates as a function of the Au-Ag-Ge eutectic composition. Significantly, AuxAg1-x alloy seeds lower the critical diameter of the Ge nanowires in this liquid-seeded growth approach. In situ TEM heating experiments established the correlation between the growth kinetics and equilibrium eutectic compositions in the ternary growth systems. The fundamental insights of nanowire growth demonstrated with the ternary eutectic alloys opens up opportunities to engineer the aspect ratio and morphology of a range of semiconductor nanowires. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 18 August 2013.
All research outputs
#18,343,746
of 22,716,996 outputs
Outputs from Nano Letters
#10,520
of 12,338 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#146,469
of 196,013 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Nano Letters
#126
of 140 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,716,996 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 12,338 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.9. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 196,013 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 140 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 2nd percentile – i.e., 2% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
