GaN nanorods grown on Si (111) substrates and exciton localization
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated exciton localization in binary GaN nanorods using micro- and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence has been measured, and several phonon replicas have been observed at the lower energy side of the exciton bound to basal stacking faults (I1). By analyzing the Huang-Rhys parameters as a function of temperature, deduced from the phonon replica intensities, we have found that the excitons are strongly localized in the lower energy tails. The lifetimes of the I1 and I2 transitions were measured to be < 100 ps due to enhanced surface recombination.PACS: 78.47.+p, 78.55.-m, 78.55.Cr, 78.66.-w, 78.66.Fd.

The effect of substrate on high-temperature annealing of GaN epilayers: Si versus sapphire
We have studied the effects of rapid thermal annealing at 1300 °C on GaN epilayers grown on AlN buffered Si 111 and on sapphire substrates. After annealing, the epilayers grown on Si display visible alterations with craterlike morphology scattered over the surface. The annealed GaN/Si layers were characterized by a range of experimental techniques: scanning electron microscopy, optical confocal...
متن کاملIII-nitride core–shell nanorod array on quartz substrates
We report the fabrication of near-vertically elongated GaN nanorods on quartz substrates. To control the preferred orientation and length of individual GaN nanorods, we combined molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) with pulsed-mode metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The MBE-grown buffer layer was composed of GaN nanograins exhibiting an ordered surface and preferred orientation along the ...
متن کاملInN Nanorods and Epi-layers: Similarities and Differences
Transmission electron microscopy was applied to study InN nanorods grown on the a-, c-and r-plane of Al2O3, and (111) Si substrates by non-catalytic, template-free hydride metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (H-MOVPE). Single crystal nanorod growth was obtained on all substrates. However, the shape of the nanorods varied depending on the substrate used. For example, nanorods grown on r-plane sapp...

Gallium nitride [GaN] nanorods grown on a Si(111) substrate at 720°C via plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy were studied by field-emission electron microscopy and cathodoluminescence [CL]. The surface topography and optical properties of the GaN nanorod cluster and single GaN nanorod were measured and discussed. The defect-related CL spectra of GaN nanorods and their dependence on temperatu...
