It was demonstrated that for dense nanowire ensembles of stationary sizes of metal droplets on the wire tip commonly depend on the initial droplet diameter. Reasons for the deviation from theoretically predicted single stationary droplet size were analyzed. The self-alignment effect of droplet sizes depends both on growth conditions and catalytic properties of the liquid metal. The growth of InAs nanowire array was simulated. Influence of indium and arsenic readsorption on the self-equilibration effect was examined.
