Abstract

The AlxGa1-xN alloy nanocrystalline solids with x=0-1 were successfully synthesized through ammono-thermal routes. The alloys were formed only in the form of nanocrystalline solids, and not in other forms, i.e. of nano-powders or micro-crystals. The Raman scattering spectra of the alloy solids within the whole range of x values were investigated. One-mode-type behavior of A1(LO) phonon and two-mode-type behavior of E2 phonon were clearly demonstrated. The intensity of E2(GaN) mode decreases as x increases up to x=0.8. For A1(TO), A1(LO), and E2(GaN) phonon modes, the linewidth behaviors follow a pattern that exhibits a maximum at composition x=0.5.
