| Abstract: |
We present the homoepitaxial growth of p-type, magnesium-doped gallium nitride shells using halide vapor phase epitaxy on n-type gallium nitride nanowires grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Scanning electron microscopy shows clear dopant contrast between the core and shell of the nanowire. The growth of magnesium-doped nanowire shells shows little or no effect on the lattice parameters of the underlying nanowires, as measured by x-ray diffraction (XRD). In contrast, photoluminescence of the nanowires show the prominent appearance of Mg related features. Finally, electrical measurements confirm the presence of electrically active holes in the nanowires. |
