Abstract
The authors report on the fabrication and characteristics of near ultraviolet nanorod light emitting diodes (LEDs) composed of n-GaN∕ZnO nanorod heterostructures on p-GaN substrates. The nanorod LEDs consist of the vertically aligned n-GaN∕ZnO coaxial nanorod arrays grown on a p-GaN substrate. The LEDs demonstrated strong near ultraviolet emission at room temperature. The nanorod LEDs were turned on a forward-bias voltage of 5V, and exhibited a large light emitting area. From electroluminescent spectra, dominant emission peaks were observed at 2.96 and 3.24eV for an applied current of 2mA. The origins of the strong and large area light emission are also discussed in terms of enhanced carrier injection from n-GaN nanostructures to p-GaN substrates.
