Abstract :
Examination of catalytic GaAs nanowire growth using Monte Carlo simulation was fulfilled. It was demonstrated that characteristics of NW growth were crucially depended on arsenic to gallium flux ratio. NW grew only starting from certain FAs2/FGa value. With following FAs2/FGa raise NW growth rate increased and then saturated. Optimal temperature, ratio of gallium and arsenic flux intensities corresponding to maximal GaAs NW growth rate were detected.
