title: Simultaneous growth of pure hyperbranched Zn3As2 structures and long Ga2O3 nanowires.
abstract: Through a facile and highly repeatable chemical vapor method, pure three-dimensional hyperbranched Zn(3)As(2) structures and ultralong Ga(2)O(3) nanowires were simultaneously grown with controllable locations in the same experiment. The hyperbranched Zn(3)As(2) consists of cone-shaped submicro-/nanowires and has a single-crystalline tetragonal structure. This is the first report of nano Zn(3)As(2) and hyperbranched Zn(3)As(2) structures. The as-grown Ga(2)O(3) nanowires are monoclinic single crystals. A vapor-solid-solid mechanism is suggested for the growth of the Ga(2)O(3) nanowires, and a vapor-solid mechanism, for the Zn(3)As(2) structures.
