DEPENDENCE OF GALLIUM NITRIDE NANOWIRES PROPERTIES ON
SYNTHESIS PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE

M. Danilyuk, A. Messanvi

Abstract

The main task of the investigation was to perform the synthesis of gallium nitride nanowires using a low pressure chemical vapor deposition system. The nanowires were grown via a catalyst-assisted reaction based on the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The influence of catalyst, temperature and pressure on the growth of gallium nitride nanowires was explored. Optimal results were obtained at a temperature of 750°C and at a pressure of 400 to 500 mTorr.

Keywords: gallium nitride; nanowires; chemical vapor deposition; photoluminescence; Raman spectra
