Structural and Raman properties of compositionally tunable Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N (0.66 ≤ x ≤ 1) nanowires

Abstract

In this work, we describe compositionally tunable Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N nanowires (0.66 ≤ x ≤ 1) grown on Si (1 0 0) substrates using a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. The composition of Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N nanowires may be tuned by adjusting the vapor temperature of the AlCl{sub 3} and GaCl{sub 3} used in its production. The structural, chemical and optical properties of the Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N nanowires are investigated using X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. All the Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N nanowires exhibit a preferred c-axis orientation. Raman analysis shows that the E{sub 2}{sup 2} phonon exhibits two-mode behavior. The positions of the AlN-like E{sub 2}{sup 2}, GaN-like E{sub 2}{sup 2} and A{sub 1}(TO) modes shift toward higher frequencies as the amount of Al increases. The growth of these Al{sub x}Ga{sub 1−x}N nanowires has been proposed to follow a vapor–solid–solid (VSS) mechanism.
