Schematic diagram of the growth mechanisms.
(a) The crystal structures of Bi2Se3 from side-view (top panel) and top-view (bottom panel). (b) The vapor-liquid-solid growth along [0001] direction. (c) The dominant growth along [10-10] or [01-10] directions. (d) The growth along [11-20] direction and the formation of quasi-one dimensional structure.
