We demonstrated photonic band characterization in photonic crystals (PhCs) based on InGaN/GaN nanocolumn (NC) arrays fabricated by Ti-mask selective area growth. Triangular and honeycomb latticed NCs with approximately the same diameter and closest distance were successfully fabricated. To effectively observe the photonic bands, we designed an angle-resolved micro-photoluminescence measurement system. The photonic bands in the honeycomb lattice were at longer wavelengths compared with those in the triangular lattice, indicating that, for the honeycomb lattice, narrower NCs were available to realize PhC effects in the long-wavelength region. Therefore, narrow honeycomb lattices with large nanocrystalline and PhC effects are suitable for long-wavelength emission.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
