A kinetic model of semiconductor nanowire growth by gas phase adsorption is developed taking into account, along with the surface equilibrium diffusion of adatoms, the nonequilibrium diffusion of excited (hot) atoms generated by acts of adsorption and their relaxation as a result of excitation-energy accommodation via an electron channel at catalyst droplets. The processes that occur on the surface...
