Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
We report the size-controlled growth of Ge nanowires from Au-Ag-Ge ternary alloy catalysts. Significantly, Au-Ag-Ge layered thin films enabled, for the first time, the synthesis of high aspect ratio Ge nanowires by simultaneously manipulating both the solute concentration (C) and equilibrium concentration (C) of Ge in the catalysts, thereby increasing the Ge supersaturation during vapour-liquid-solid (VLS) growth. Simultaneous manipulation of C and C to enhance nanowire growth rates was also achieved using colloidal Au-Ag nanoparticles deposited on a Ge film. These nanoparticles produced Ge nanowires with more uniform diameter distributions than those obtained from the thin films. The manifestation of the Gibbs-Thomson effect, resulting in a diameter dependent growth rate, was observed for all nanowires grown from Au-Ag nanoparticles. In situ TEM heating experiments performed on the as-grown Ge nanowires enabled direct determination of the Ge equilibrium concentrations in the Au-Ag-Ge ternary alloys. © 2014 the Partner Organisations.
