Abstract
Abstract. Gallium Nitride (GaN) nano and micro structures were grown on different substrates, such as ceramic boat and alumina plate using thermal evaporation method with commercial GaN powder under the flow of Argon (Ar) gas atmosphere. Micro structural studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed the role of different substrates in the nucleation of the GaN nano and micro wires and ribbons. Additional structural and optical characterizations were performed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Results indicated that the nanowires and nanoribbons are of single-crystal hexagonal GaN and are more and less orderly in their growth with different substrates. The quality of growth of the GaN nanowires and nanoribbons for different substrates is highly dependent on the lattice mismatch between the nanowires and their substrates and it also depends on the conditions of the growth.
