Both the hexagonal and cubic GaN phases were synthesized in GaAs (001) by 50 keV N ion implantation at 380 {degree}C and subsequent furnace annealing at 850--950 {degree}C for 10 min--2 h. For a fluence of 1.5{times}10{sup 17} cm{sup {minus}2}, transmission electron microscopy revealed that cubic GaN epitaxially crystallizes as precipitates in the GaAs matrix. A cubic-to-hexagonal GaN phase transition was observed for extended thermal anneals. By increasing the N fluence to 3{times}10{sup 17} cm{sup {minus}2}, a continuous buried layer of randomly oriented hexagonal-GaN nanocrystals was produced. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
