Catalytic synthesis and photoluminescence of β-Ga2O3 nanowires

Abstract: Monoclinic gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) nanowires were synthesized by heat treating a composite material of GaAs and pre-evaporated Au at 1240 °C in dry oxygen atmosphere. The catalytic Au metal generated liquid nanoclusters that serve as reactive sites confining and directing the growth of β-Ga2O3 nanowires during the vapor-liquid-solid growth process. The β-Ga2O3 nanowires have diameters ranging from 20 to 50 nm and lengths of several micrometers. Photoluminescence measurement under excitation at 250 nm shows tha… Show more

“…Thus, in this study, thin films of ZnO and Cd x Zn 1 x O (x = 0.16) were investigated. Gallium oxide (Ga 2 O 3 ) has the biggest band-gap among the transparent conductive oxides, 4.8 eV , making it interesting for photonics working in the UV and visible wavelength region [3,[10][11][12][13]. However, as in the case of ZnO, it is an intrinsic n-type semiconductor and it has been proven very difficult to obtain p-type doping, which is fundamental for technological applications.…”

“…Photoluminescence of the as-grown β-Ga 2 O 3 and β-Ga 2 O 3 /Ga 2 S 3 NWs obtained at 400, 500, and 600°C is shown in Fig 2a. The as-grown β-Ga 2 O 3 NWs exhibit broad PL with a maximum at ≈ 435 nm, which is attributed to transitions between donor-like states related to oxygen vacancies (V O ) and acceptor-like states due to gallium vacancies (V Ga ) or gallium-oxygen vacancy pairs (V Ga -V O ) [23]. We observe a small red shift of the PL from 2.9 to 2.8 eV after post growth processing under H 2 S at 400°C and a tenfold reduction in intensity.…”
