Thanks to its high refractive index contrast, band gap and polarization mismatch compared to GaN, In0.17Al0.83N layers lattice-matched to GaN are an attractive solution for applications such as distributed Bragg reflectors, ultraviolet light-emitting diodes, or high electron mobility transistors. In order to study the structural degradation mechani...
Ion implantation is an interesting method to dope semiconducting materials such as zinc oxide provided that the implantation-induced defects can be subsequently removed. Nitrogen implantation followed by anneals under O2 were carried out on zinc oxide nanowires in the same conditions as in a previous study on bulk ZnO [J. Appl.Phys. 109, 023513 (20...
Semipolar {n[n¯]01} InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) (n = 1−3) are fabricated on top of GaN microstructures, which consist of semipolar {1Ī01} facets. Semipolar planes are obtained via regrowth of three-dimensional structures on (0001) GaN templates under controlled growth conditions. Compared to QWs on {1Ī01} facets, {n[n¯]01} ridge QWs show an inten...
We investigate the growth of vertically standing [100] zincblende InP nanowire (NW) arrays on InP (100) substrates in the vapor-liquid-solid growth mode using low-pressure metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Precise positioning of these NWs is demonstrated by electron beam lithography. The vertical NW yield can be controlled by different parameters....

Internal quantum efficiencies (IQEs) as high as 69% were realized at room temperature from AlGaN/AlN quantum wells (QWs) emitting at 247 nm grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The extremely high IQEs were achieved by examining the source–supply sequence. QWs fabricated by a continuous source–supply method have longer emission wavelengths (λ)...
GaN nanowire (NW) arrays have been fabricated by the electrodeless photoelectrochemical (PEC) etching method for the first time. Under appropriate conditions, the etching process is just a dislocation-hunted process, in which the etching solution "digs down'' along the threading dislocations, resulting in the formation of GaN NWs by preferentially ...
