Abstract

GaN crystalline powders have been synthesized by the reaction of a Ga vapor with an ammonia gas at the reaction temperature Tr = 900 - 1100°C in an atmospheric-pressure open-tube reactor. The size of GaN particles ranges from 0.2 to 2νm. It was found that the structural and luminescent properties depend strongly on Tr. The mean size of the GaN particles increased as Tr is raised. The GaN powders exhibited photoluminescence (PL) dominated by the band edge emissions. Thermal quenching is relatively significant for the powders synthesized at lower Tr. This is presumably due to enhanced non-radiative recombination at the surface because of their smaller particle size.
