Growth mechanisms and optical properties of indium phosphide nanowires were investigated on various material surfaces. InP nanowires were grown on three types of substrate surfaces; Si, GaAs and a hydrogenated silicon template layer prepared on a quartz substrate, by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The role of substrate in nanowire growth mechanisms and optical properties is addressed.
