Abstract
Cathodoluminescence real-color imaging and spectroscopy were employed to study the properties of Ga(2)O(3) nanowires grown with different Sn/Ga ratios. The structures grown under Sn-rich conditions show large spectral emission variation, ranging from blue to red, with a green transition zone. Spectral emission changes correlate with changes in the chemical composition and structure found by energy dispersive spectroscopy and electron diffraction. A sharp transition from green to red emission correlates with a phase transition of beta-Ga(2)O(3) to polycrystalline SnO(2). The origin of the green emission band is discussed based on ab initio calculation results.
