Abstract
We have grown horizontal oriented, high growth rate, well-aligned polar (0001) single crystalline GaN nanowires and high-density and highly aligned GaN nonpolar (11-20) nanowires on r-plane substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. It can be found that the polar nanowires showed a strong yellow luminescence (YL) intensity compared with the nonpolar nanowires. The different trends of the incorporation of carbon in the polar, nonpolar, and semipolar GaN associated with the atom bonding structure were discussed and proved by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, suggesting that C-involved defects are the origin responsible for the YL in GaN nanowires.
