“…Due to the substitution of Si dopants in gallium lattice sites, an increase in the Si-doping concentration can reduce the number of gallium vacancies. Similar phenomena are also been observed in previous reports [8,9].…”

“…However, by increasing the input current the yellow band emission rapidly saturated and its proportion to QW emission decreased to negligible level, which can be seen from the high injection measurement. Possible causes for yellow luminescence are shallow dopants in n-GaN, [18][19][20] carbon impurities in i-GaN (Refs. [21][22][23] or gallium vacancy complexes in i-GaN.…”
Broom-like single crystalline gallium nitride (GaN) nanomaterials have been successfully grown on Si (100) substrates through ammoniating the new type of complex precursor hexafluoroammonium gallate [(NH4)3GaF6], under a constant flow of ammonia at 900 degrees C in a quartz tube. This research mainly deals with the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) interlayer on the growth and morphological changes of GaN nanoparticles. Broom-like GaN nanomaterials were obtained upon the influence of very fine ZnO nanoparticle interlayer in between the silicon substrate and the Ga source complex materials. On the other hand, well organized micron size hexagonal GaN particles were resulted in absence of ZnO interlayer. The transformation of hexagonal to broom-like GaN nanomaterials was predominant due to improved surface compatibility between the Si substrate and Ga source complex by the ZnO interlayer. The starting point for the transformation was indentified by controlling the process time. The structure and morphology changes of the GaN product were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). SEM images demonstrate the difference in their morphological changes of single crystalline GaN upon the ZnO nanoparticles layer deposition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
