In this work we report on the atomic structures, elemental distribution, defects and dislocations of three types of semiconductor nanowires: ZnTe, CdTe, and complex ZnTe/(Cd,Zn)Te core/shell hetero-nanowires grown by a molecular beam epitaxy on (111) Si substrate using a vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The structural properties and the chemical gradients were measured by transmission electron microscopy methods. The nanowires reveal mainly sphalerite structure, however wurtzite nanowires were also observed.
