摘要
Mg-doped GaN nanowires have been synthesized by ammoniating Ga2O3 films doped with Mg under flowing ammonia atmosphere at 850℃. The Mg-doped GaN nanowires are characterized by x-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscope （SEM）, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） and photoluminescence （PL）. The results demonstrate that the nanowires are single crystalline with hexagonal wurzite structure. The diameters of the nanowires are 20-30nto and the lengths are 50-100μm. The GaN nanowires show three emission bands with well-defined PL peak at 3.45 eV, 3.26 eV, 2.95 eV, respectively. The large distinct blueshift of the bandgap emission can be attributed to the Burstein-Moss effect. The peak at 3.26 eV represents the transition from the conduction-band edge to the acceptor level AM （acceptor Mg）. The growth mechanism of crystalline GaN nanowires is discussed briefly.
