We study the growth of nanowire arrays based on InAsP on silicon substrates. It was found that during the growth process two structural phases are formed: a cubic structure of the sphalerite type and a hexagonal structure of the wurtzite type. The epitaxial relations between InAsP and Si were determined: [0001]NWs||[111]Si, [1120]NWs||[110]Si. A decrease of the radial growth rate and the formation of an axial heterojunction were revealed with the formation of thin (<100 nm) segments of the InAs1-xPx solid solution and maintaining a sufficiently high partial pressure of the As flow (at least 50%). Keywords: InAsP, nanowires, molecular beam epitaxy.
