Summary on Grant Application Form
There is argument as to the origin of PL in the technologically important semiconductor InN. Indeed few samples oaf InN, even high purity crystals, show PL, whereas the GaN counterpart and the InGaN alloys show intense PL. The aim of the project is to further understand the mechanism of PL in III-Ns through a study of variation of the optical bandgap and PL of InN with nanocrystallite size and crystal structure. Pressure will be used to modify the crystal structure, since InN is known to transform from wurtzite to a NaCl cubic structure at around 15 GPa.
