    GaN-based radial heterostructure nanowires grown by MBE and ALD
    (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2013) Lari, L.; Ross, I.M.; Walther, T.; Black, K.; Cheze, C.; Geelhaar, L.; Riechert, H.; Chalker, P.R.
    A combination of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) was adopted to fabricate GaN-based core/shell NW structures. ALD was used to deposit a HfO2 shell of onto the MBE grown GaN NWs. Electron transparent samples were prepared by focussed ion beam methods and characterized using state-of-the-art analytical transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopy. The polycrystalline coating was found to be uniform along the whole length of the NWs. Photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy analysis confirms that the HfO2 ALD coating does not add any structural defect when deposited on the NWs.

    Selective area growth of AlGaN nanopyramid arrays on graphene by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy
    (Melville, NY : American Inst. of Physics, 2018) Munshi, A. Mazid; Kim, Dong-Chul; Heimdal, Carl Philip; Heilmann, Martin; Christiansen, Silke H.; Vullum, Per Erik; van Helvoort, Antonius T. J.; Weman, Helge
    Wide-bandgap group III-nitride semiconductors are of special interest for applications in ultraviolet light emitting diodes, photodetectors, and lasers. However, epitaxial growth of high-quality III-nitride semiconductors on conventional single-crystalline substrates is challenging due to the lattice mismatch and differences in the thermal expansion coefficients. Recently, it has been shown that graphene, a two-dimensional material, can be used as a substrate for growing high-quality III-V semiconductors via quasi-van der Waals epitaxy and overcome the named challenges. Here, we report selective area growth of AlGaN nanopyramids on hole mask patterned single-layer graphene using metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. The nanopyramid bases have a hexagonal shape with a very high nucleation yield. After subsequent AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN overgrowth on the six {10 (1) over bar1} semi-polar side facets of the nanopyramids, intense room-temperature cathodoluminescence emission is observed at 365 nm with whispering gallery-like modes. This work opens up a route for achieving III-nitride opto-electronic devices on graphene substrates in the ultraviolet region for future applications.
