Abstract Subject headings

Nanowires offer unprecedented flexibility as nanoscale building blocks for future optoelectronic devices, especially with respect to nanowire solar cells and light-emitting diodes. A relatively new concept is that of charge carrier diffusion-induced light-emitting diodes, for which nanowires offer an interesting architecture by use of particle-assisted core-branch growth. The branches should be homogenously distributed along the cores. However, most deposition techniques, such as aerosol particle deposition, mainly yield particles at the nanowire tips for dense nanowire arrays. In this study, we demonstrate a liquid-based approach for homogeneously distributed formation of catalytic Au particles on the core nanowire sidewalls which is cost and time-efficient. Subsequently, we demonstrate the synthesis of dispersed nanowire branches. We show that by changing the deposition parameters, we can tune the number of branches, their dimensions, and their growth direction.
