Nitride Nanowires: From Rigid to Flexible Piezo- generators
نویسندگان
چکیده
Here we employ self-assembled Mg-doped GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy on Si(111) substrates to fabricate piezogenerators. We first discuss the fabrication and testing of rigid nanowire-based generators and then a flexible generator prototype is shown.

We report the first demonstration of flexible white phosphor-converted light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on p-n junction core/shell nitride nanowires. GaN nanowires containing seven radial In0.2Ga0.8N/GaN quantum wells were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on a sapphire substrate by a catalyst-free approach. To fabricate the flexible LED, the nanowires are embedded into a phosp...
