چکیده

We report on the observation of broad photoluminescence wavelength tunability from n-type gallium nitride nanoparticles (GaN NPs) fabricated using the ultraviolet metal-assisted electroless etching method. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy measurements performed on the nanoparticles revealed large size dispersion ranging from 10 to 100 nm. Nanoparticles with broad tunable emission wavelength from 362 to 440 nm have been achieved by exciting the samples using the excitation power-dependent method. We attribute this large wavelength tunability to the localized potential fluctuations present within the GaN matrix and to vacancy-related surface states. Our results show that GaN NPs fabricated using this technique are promising for tunable-color-temperature white light-emitting diode applications.

Internal polarizations field which take place in quantum structures of group-III nitrides have an important consequence on their optical properties. Optical properties of wurtzite AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures grown by MBE and MOCVD on c-plane sapphire substrates have been investigated by means of photoluminescence (PL) and time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) at low-temperature. PL ...

Catalytic hydride vapour phase epitaxy growth of GaN nanowires.

Catalytic growth of GaN nanowires by hydride vapour phase epitaxy is demonstrated. Nickel-gold was used as a catalyst. Nanowire growth was limited to areas patterned with catalyst. Characterization of the nanowires with transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and low temperature photoluminescence shows that the nanowires are stoichiometric 2H-GaN single crystals growing in the [000...
