Self-healing of GaAs nanowires: An atomistic study

Fractured GaAs nanowires (NWs) with a zinc-blende structure can spontaneously self-heal throughout Ga–As re-bonding at fracture sites. In this paper, a systematic molecular dynamics study has been made with focus on the influence of lateral dimensions of GaAs NWs, multiple fractures and atomistic di...
