The effects of lamellar twinning in epitaxial particle-assisted $\mathrm {GaAs}\langle 111\rangle \mathrm {B}$ nanowires are investigated in an extensive high resolution electron microscopy (HRTEM) study of the low index zones $\langle \bar {1}00\rangle$ , $\langle \bar {1}\bar {1}0\rangle$ , $\langle 1\bar {1}\bar {1}\rangle$ and $\langle 1\bar {1}\bar {2}\rangle$ . As these directions are non-parallel to the ( $\bar {1}\bar {1}\bar {1}$ ) twin planes we find that the twin segments exhibit two different zone axes as a consequence of twinning. In the first three cases the alternative zones were found to be $\langle 1\bar {2}\bar {2}\rangle$ , $\langle 11\bar {4}\rangle$ and $\langle 11\bar {5}\rangle$ . These findings are supported by a comparison of experimental HRTEM images and multi-slice simulations along with fast Fourier transform mapping. From the appearance of non-overlapping regions we conclude that the nanowires are bound by {111} facets only. The twin formation and the development of the stable side facets are discussed.
