About Some Fundamental Aspects of the Growth Mechanism Vapor-Liquid-Solid Nanowires

<div>Scheme pairing section boundaries of three phases—solid, liquid, and gas for catalyst droplet at vertex tapered (0 &lt; <i>δ</i> &lt; 90°), cylinder (<i>δ</i> = 90°) NWs with transverse facet {111}, and on the substrate (<i>δ</i> = 0). <i>φ</i>—is the angle of the inclination segment surface of the catalyst droplet at the point A on the wetting perimeter to the growth axis NWs and <i>φ</i><sub>0</sub>—is the angle of the inclination segment surface of the droplet to the displacement direction of the TPL.</div>
