Abstract: The influence of liquid drop shape on the crystalline phase structure of growing nanowires (NWs) has been analyzed. It is established that, at the same concentration of substance in the catalyst, the crystalline phase of NWs can change depending on the contact angle of the liquid drop. Based on the established facts, some experimental data concerning changes in the crystalline phase of III–V nanowires, e.g., depending on the antimony concentration in the liquid drop, are explained.
