Semiconductor nanowires represent an important and exciting class of novel nanostructure. One of the most interesting advantages of these structures for a wide variety of applications is the potential to form new materials and material combinations that do not or cannot exist in bulk structures. This may include novel crystal phases, alloy materials or heterostructure combinations and superlattices. The development of these new types of materials requires however a fundamental bottom-up understanding of the processes that govern the formation of one-dimensional crystalline structures on the nanoscale. In this talk I will discuss new developments in the design of III-V semiconductor nanowire-based materials, including new insights into their formation, novel techniques for investigating these processes and examples of exotic new materials. Specific topics will include (i) the use of in-situ TEM as a tool for understanding dynamic processes in formation of novel III-V nanowire structures (ii) fundamental processes controlling crystal phase, and the implications for the physical properties of the materials (iii) new insights into the nanowire growth mechanism and connection to final material properties afforded by changing the seed particle material, and (iv) complex designs based on novel
