The formation of Au-catalyzed InPxAs1-x and InSbxAs1-x nanowires has been studied theoretically. Taking into account the desorption, we have studied the influence of the III/V flux ratio and temperature on the nanowire composition. Using the Au-catalyzed InPxAs1-x nanowires as an example, we have shown that the Au concentration has no effect on the vapor-solid distribution but affects the total concentration of group V elements. The study has shown that the total concentration of group V elements is low (about 1-2 %). Comparison of the theoretical results with available experimental data have demonstrated a good agreement. Keywords: modeling, III-V nanowires, chemical composition, ternary compounds.
