Abstract
GaN nanowires grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy are of excellent optical quality, their optical signature being characteristic of homogeneous strain-free GaN. There are however discrepancies between the low temperature luminescence spectra of GaN thin films and nanowires, in particular, a strong emission line around 3.45 eV in nanowires is not found with such a large intensity in thin film GaN. The origin of this emission line in nanowires is still debated; in this article, we shed new light on this debate notably by polarization-resolved luminescence and magneto-luminescence experiments. Our findings demonstrate, in particular, that this line cannot be attributed to a two-electron satellite of the donor bound exciton transition.
