Abstract
Indium phosphide (InP) nanowires, which have crystal phase mixing and transition from zinc blende (ZB) to wurtzite (WZ), are grown in intermediate growth conditions between ZB and WZ by using selective-area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). The shape of InP nanowires is tapered unlike ZB or WZ nanowires. A growth model has been developed for the tapered nanowires, which is simply described as the relationship between tapered angle and the ratio of ZB and WZ segments. In addition, the peak energy shift in photoluminescence measurement was attributed to the quantum confinement effect of the quantum well of the ZB region located in the polytypic structure of ZB and WZ in nanowires.
