Published: December 2015

AlN nanowall structures were grown on Si (111) substrate using molecular beam epitaxy at substrate temperature of 700 °C with N/Al flux ratios ranging from 50 to 660. A few types of other AlN nanostructures were also grown under the nitrogen-rich conditions. The AlN nanowalls were ranged typically 60-120 nm in width and from 190 to 470 nm in length by changing N/Al flux ratio. The AlN nanowall structures grown along the c-plane consisted of AlN (0002) crystal with full-width at half maximum of the rocking curve about 5000 arcsec.

MXenes are the class of two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides that exhibit unique properties and are used in a multitude of applications such as biosensors, water purification, electromagnetic interference shielding, electrocatalysis, supercapacitors, and so forth. Carbide-based MXenes are being widely explored, whereas investigations on nitride-based ones are seldom. Among the nitride-based MXenes obtained from their MAX phases, only TiN and TiN are reported so far.

Enhancement of Heat Dissipation in Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes by a Vertically Oriented Graphene Nanowall Buffer Layer.

For III-nitride-based devices, such as high-brightness light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the poor heat dissipation of the sapphire substrate is deleterious to the energy efficiency and restricts many of their applications. Herein, the role of vertically oriented graphene (VG) nanowalls as a buffer layer for improving the heat dissipation in AlN films on sapphire substrates is studied. It is found that VG nanowalls can effectively enhance the heat dissipation between an AlN film and a sapphire substrate in the longitudinal direction because of their unique vertical structure and good thermal conductivity.

Selective area growth (SAG) of GaN nanowires and nanowalls on Si(111) substrates with AlN and GaN buffer layers grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy was studied. For N-polar samples filling of SAG features increased with decreasing lattice mismatch between the SAG and buffer. Defects related to Al-Si eutectic formation were observed in all samples, irrespective of lattice mismatch and buffer layer polarity.

Scalable network electrical devices using ZnO nanowalls.

February 2011

National Creative Research Initiative Center for Semiconductor Nanorods and Department of Physics and Astronomy, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea.

We report the fabrication and electrical characteristics of scalable nanowall network devices and their gas sensor applications. For the network device fabrications, two-dimensional ZnO nanowall networks were grown on AlN/Si substrates with a patterned SiO(2) mask layer using selective-area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The ZnO nanowalls with c-axis orientation were heteroepitaxially grown on AlN/Si substrates, and were single-crystalline, as determined by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy.
