We have investigated the strain state in Ge nanowires on Si(113) substrate using medium-energy ion scattering. We found that nanowires have negligibly relaxed compressive strain along their length, but the strain across them is almost totally relaxed. Anisotropic strain relaxation plays a role in determining the width of the nanowires.
