Abstract
The synthesis of single-crystalline GaN nanowires on c-Al2O3 substrates using a vapor phase epitaxy process was studied. The GaN nanowires synthesized at a high NH3 gas flow rate and thus with a sufficient supply of the N source grew via the vapor-solid mechanism, while those synthesized at a low NH3 gas flow rate grew via the vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The internal stress between the nanowires and the substrate was investigated using micro-Raman spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction indicated that the triangular GaN nanowires have a single-crystalline hexagonal structure.
