Abstract Multicomponent nanowires (NWs) are of great interest for integrated nanoscale optoelectronic devices owing to their widely tunable band gaps. In this study, we synthesize a series of (GaAs)1-x(Ga2Se3)x ternary composition alloy nanowires using the vapor transport method. The formation of a cubic (zinc blende) phase solid solution at the composition range of x = 0 - 1 allowed the tuning of the band gap (1.4–2.0 eV). Pure GaAs NWs were synthesized with [111] growth direction using a hydrogen gas flow during the growth. As the Ga2Se3 incorporated during the growth under H2 flow, the NW becomes defect-free single-crystalline and their growth direction is converted homogeneously into [110]. The Ga vacancies of Ga2Se3 along the [110] direction may also contribute to produce the uniform growth direction of NW. The incorporation of Se into the GaAs nanowires induces higher photo-sensitivity and lower dark current, which opens up a new strategy for enhancing the performance of photodetectors.
