Optical Characteristics of Single-Crystal InGaN Nanowires Grown via Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition with a Ni Catalyst

Growth of Vertically Aligned InGaN Nanowires

“…And a high V/III growth condition is conducive to avoiding the formation of stacking dislocation of InGaN NWs and improving the crystal quality. In addition, Ni [3], Ni+Au [4,5] nanoparticles are also widely used as catalysts. As for catalyst-assisted VLS growth, using a metal nanoparticle catalyst, as-grown NWs often differ in their crystallographic orientation and tend to tilt, random, and branch during the growth process.…”
