초록

Amorphous GaN Quantum dots(a-GaN QDs) with particle diameters less than bohr radius(~11nm) were successfully fabricated at room temperature by a laser ablation of high densified GaN target. Transmission electron microscopy, SAED diffraction pattern and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the presence of a-GaN QDs with particle size of 7.9, 6.9, 4.4nm under the Ar gas pressures of 50, 100 and 200 Pa, respectively. The room temperature PL and absorbance spectra showed a strong band emission centered at 3.9 eV in a-GaN QDs made under the gas pressures of 100 and 200 Pa, which is nearly 0.5eV blueshifted with respect to the bulk crystal band gap.
