Abstract
The correlation between morphology and polarity was investigated for GaN single crystals synthesized by the Na flux method. The polarity was identified by using anomalous X-ray dispersion. Colorless transparent prismatic single crystals were classified into three types. The first had a smooth basal plane face and no hexagonal pyramidal faces, the second had smooth pyramidal faces, and the third had a rough basal plane face and rough pyramidal faces. The prismatic crystals with smooth surfaces had N-polarity and grew in the −c direction, whereas the crystals having rough surfaces had Ga-polarity and grew in the +c direction. In colorless transparent platelet single crystals, one side of the basal planes had a mirror smooth surface, while the other side had many step edges and hexagonal pits. The smooth basal plane and the rough basal plane were the (0001̄) N-face and (0001) Ga-face, respectively. Black pyramidal crystals had a smooth (0001) basal plane face corresponding to the Ga-face.
