• equilibrium, bimetallic nanoparticles must optimize both the geometric shape and the chemical ordering. However, nanoparticles grown by a gas-phase synthesis process often fall into metastable configurations due to nonequilibrium growth conditions. Therefore, their configuration is determined not only by

• electronic functionality of such nanometer-scale building blocks. A rational and well-established synthesis strategy for the creation of complex silicon nanostructures is metal-catalyzed vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) nanowire growth [13]. VLS nanowire growth belongs to the gas-phase synthesis procedures, similar
