Abstract
Optical photoluminescence studies are performed in self-ion (Ga+)-implanted nominally doped n-GaN nanowires. A 50 keV Ga+ focused ion beam in the fluence range of 1×1014–2×1016 ions cm−2 is used for the irradiation process. A blueshift is observed for the yellow luminescence (YL) band with increasing fluence. Donor–acceptor pair model with emission involving shallow donor introduced by point-defect clusters related to nitrogen vacancies and probable deep acceptor created by gallium interstitial clusters is responsible for the shift. High-temperature annealing in nitrogen ambient restores the peak position of YL band by removing nitrogen vacancies.
