Semiconductor nanostructures containing heterostructures are promising for future (opto-) electronic devices. GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires (NWs) are an example for such a self-assembled nanostructure having a high lattice mismatch. Apart from the usual mixture of the zinc blende and wurtzite crystal structure in III-V NWs, this lattice mismatch causes additional defects. Here, we present a detailed study about such defects observed in conventional bright field transmission electron microscopy (BF-TEM) and corresponding Moiré fringe pattern. Threading dislocations as well as different kinds of stacking faults are identified. The results are correlated with the growth mechanism of the InAs shell.
