Gallium nitride nanowires, however, don't experience the same sort of crystal strain, so scientists hope to use them as tunable, broad - spectrum light sources.
Not exact matches
Nanowires for LEDs are made up of an inner core of
gallium nitride (GaN) and a layer of indium -
gallium -
nitride (InGaN) on the outside, both of which are semiconducting materials.
In the study, the researchers found that the
gallium -
nitride nanowire growth orientation strongly depended on the relative concentration of nickel and gold within the catalyst.
