Their observations reveal exact details of the growth process responsible for the evolving shape and crystal structure of
the crystalline nanowires.
After some time,
the crystalline nanowires begin to form below the droplets, whereby the droplets are gradually pushed upwards.

Further microscopy of the
nanowire showed that the structure of the tin oxide atoms had changed from an ordered
crystalline arrangement to an amorphous glass - like form.
Here we show that single -
crystalline ZnO and p - doped Si
nanowires (NWs) can exhibit anelastic behaviour that is up to four orders of magnitude larger than the largest anelasticity observed in bulk materials, with a recovery time - scale in the order of minutes.
