Abstract

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanobelts with herringbone morphology are successfully synthesized on Si (111) substrates through ammoniating Ga 2O3 thin films deposited by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronic microscope (SEM), transmission electronic microscope (TEM) and high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) are carried out to analyze as-synthesized GaN nanobelts. The field emission (FE) measurements show that the as-synthesized GaN nanobelts have a very low turn-on field of 6.1 V/μm at the current density of 0.1 μA/cm2. It is found that the Fowler-Nordheim (FN) plot exhibits two stages. The experimental results demonstrated that there were great potential applications of the herringbone-like GaN nanobelts for flat panel displays.
