Cd3As2 Nanowires by Chemical Vapour Deposition — •Piet Schönherr and Thorsten Hesjedal — Department of Physics, Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3PU, United Kingdom

Cd3As2 has been well known for its very high mobility. Recently, it was discovered that the material displays two Dirac points with linearly dispersing states that are stabilized by crystal symmetry (three-dimensional Dirac semimetal). The Dirac cones live in three-dimensional k-space unlike topological insulators that only have two-dimensional Dirac cones on their surface. This makes Cd3As2 a three-dimensional analogue of graphene.

We present the growth and characterisation of Cd3As2 nanowires including results from electric transport measurements. Nanowires with a diameter as small as 10 nm were grown in a self-catalysed vapour-liquid-solid process using chemical vapour deposition. We analyse the growth mechanism and compare the vibrational modes of Cd3As2 nanostructures with bulk samples.
