Abstract

The growth of high-quality straight GaN nanowires has been achieved by the reaction of Ga vapor with N 2 plasma in a horizontal furnace with dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The diameters of GaN nanowires range from 70–100nm, depending on the particle sizes of Au catalysts, and their lengths are up to several micrometers. On the other hand, GaN nanowires of vermicular-shape were observed on the substrate when using N 2 gas reactant without igniting the discharge. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis reveals the formation of high crystalline quality single-crystal GaN nanowires with elongation along [100] direction. The results demonstrate that DBD-type N 2 plasma effectively induces high-quality growths of GaN nanowire single crystallites using the furnace.
