SHEN Long-hai, FU Song, SHI Guang-li. Photoluminescence and Synthesis of GaN Nanoparticles[J]. Chinese Journal of Luminescence, 2014,35(5): 585-588 DOI: 10.3788/fgxb20143505.0585.
Photoluminescence and Synthesis of GaN Nanoparticles
GaN nanoparticles with different sizes were prepared by direct nitridation method. The structure
morphology and optical property of the synthesized samples were characterized by XRD
SEM and PL spectra. The diameters of two kinds of GaN nanoparticles are around 100 nm and 300 nm
respectively. The emission at 357 nm can be ascribed to the band-edge emission. The emission band at 385 nm can be ascribed to the radiation recombination from shallow donor level of nitrogen vacancy (V
N
) to valence band. The emission band at around 560 nm can be ascribed to the DAP (Donor-acceptor pair) transition from shallow donor level of nitrogen vacancy (V
N
) to deep acceptor level.
