Time-resolved photoluminescence measurement was performed on one-dimensional GaN nanorods with c-axis-oriented single-crystalline wurtzite structures. The GaN nanorods were grown on Si(111) substrates by an improved hydride vapor phase epitaxy without a catalyst. Fast carrier recombinations of less than 10 ps were observed. The short recombination times of the GaN nanorods with few defects show the presence of nonradiative fast recombinations at the surface and interface.
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.
