Ex situ investigations of MOCVD-grown gallium nitride nanowires using reflection high energy electron diffraction

2011

Vertically oriented nanowires (NWs) of single-crystalline wurtzite GaN have been fabricated on sapphire substrates, via metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We present ex situ investigations on orientation and structure of grown GaN nanowires on GaN(0001) surface using reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Both ordered and randomly oriented GaN crystalline structures have been detected.
