Synthesis and properties of triangular-shaped GaN nanorods via growth mode control
نویسنده
چکیده
The synthesis of wurtzite gallium nitride (GaN) nanorods with triangular shape on c-Al2O3 substrates using a thermal chemical vapor deposition process was investigated. It was possible to control nanorod shape and growth mode of GaN nanorods by change of sample geometry in the chamber using a mixture of GaN powder and Ga metal with ammonia gas reaction. It was found that the GaN nanorods were grown via both vapor–liquid–solid and vapor–solid mode with change of sample placement in the chamber. The morphology of the GaN nanorods was observed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy in secondary electron and back-scattered electron mode. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray scattering measurements revealed the GaN nanorods to have a singlecrystalline wurtzite structure. & 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

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 ...
