“…According to crystallography, the zinc-blende structure possesses polarity ͓i.e., ͑h , k , l͒ ͑h , k , l͔͒, leading to the six ͕112͖ possible sidewalls dividing into two sets of equivalent ͕112͖ atomic planes ͓i.e., ͕112͖ A and ͕112͖ B ͔ and they appear alternately in the six ͕112͖ sidewalls. 19 The triangular morphology of InAs on the alternating ͕112͖ sidewalls, as shown in Fig. 2͑d͒, suggests that InAs preferentially grew on either the ͕112͖ A or the ͕112͖ B facets.…”
