Abstract
Self catalyzed GaAs nanowires grown on Si-treated GaAs substrates were studied with a transmission
electron microscope before and after annealing at 600◦C. At room temperature the nanowires have a zincblende
structure and are locally characterized by a high density of rotational twins and stacking faults. Selected area
diffraction patterns and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images show that nanowires undergo
structural modifications upon annealing, suggesting a decrease of defect density following the thermal treatment.
