Abstract:
Growth of gallium nitride nanowires on etched sapphire and GaN substrates using binary catalytic alloy were investigated by manipulating the growth time and precursor-tosubstrate distance. The variations in behavior at different growth conditions were observed using X-ray diffractometer, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. It was noticed that, in respect of both the substrates, when growth time and/or precursor-to-substrate distance is increased, thickness of the nanowires around the etch pits remains unaltered, but there is variation in the density of nanowires. In addition, formation of gallium nitride microwires within the etch pits was also observed on etched sapphire substrates. Similarly, the thickness and density of the microwires were found to increase with increase in growth time and decrease with increase in precursor-to-substrate distance. The dimensionality scaling of gallium nitride was found to have a positive effect in improving the luminescence property and band gap of the grown nanowires. This method of nanowire growth can be helpful in increasing the probability of multiple reflections in the materials which makes them a suitable candidate for optoelectronic devices.

THE VISION
THE MISSION
ABOUT I-STEM
It has always been the basic tenet of the Government of India, in generously funding R&D efforts at academic institutions over the years, that facilities established through such support be made available to those needing them and qualified to make use of them for their own research work

However, this was never easy or straightforward for, among other reasons, there was no ready source of information of what facility was available and where. Thanks to the Web, it is much easier today to have a national and regional “inventory of resources”, so as to match users with the resources they need, and to do all this in an efficient and transparent manner.

This can lead to a leap in R&D productivity and greatly enhance the effectiveness of public investment. This is the motivation behind I-STEM.
