Abstract

AbstractWe have performed a detailed investigation of the molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth and characterization of InN nanowires spontaneously formed on Si(111) substrates under nitrogen rich conditions. Controlled epitaxial growth of InN nanowires (NWs) has been demonstrated by using an in situ deposited thin (˜ 0.5 nm) In seeding layer prior to the initiation of growth. By applying this technique, we have achieved non-tapered epitaxial InN NWs that are relatively free of dislocations and stacking faults. Such InN NW ensembles display strong photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature and considerably reduced spectral broadening, with very narrow spectral linewidths of 22 and 40 meV at 77 K and 300 K, respectively.
