The grown nanowires are cylindrical and straight, with a defect-free crystalline structure, sharp nanowire-droplet interfaces and an almost constant Ge atomic fraction throughout all their length. These features represent significant improvements over the results obtained using pure Au}, author = {Monasterio, Manuel and Rodr{\'i}guez Dom{\'i}nguez, Andr{\'e}s and Rodr{\'i}guez Rodr{\'i}guez, Tom{\'a}s and Ballesteros P{\'e}rez, Carmen In{\'e}s} }
