  • Gallium oxyhydroxide (GaOOH) powders were heat-treated in a flowing ammonia gas to form GaN, and the reaction kinetics of the oxide to nitride was quantitatively determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. GaOOH turned into intermediate mixed phases of $\alpha-\;and\;\beta-Ga_2O_3$, and then single phase of GaN. The reaction time for full conversion $(t_c)$ decreased as the temperature increased. There were two-types of rapid reaction processes with the reaction temperature in the initial stage of nitridation at below $t_c$, and a relatively slow processes followed over $t_c$ does not depends on temperatures. The nitridation process was found to be limited by the rate of an interfacial reaction with the reaction order n value of 1 at $800^{\circ}C$ and by the diffusion-limited reaction with the n of 2 at above $1000^{\circ}C$, respectively, at below $t_c$. The activation energy for the reaction was calculated to be 1.84 eV in the temperature of below $830^{\circ}C$, and decreased to 0.38 eV above $830^{\circ}C$. From the comparative analysis of data, it strongly suggest the rate-controlling step changed from chemical reaction to mass transport above $830^{\circ}C$.

  • Crystal properties of wurtzite GaN films grown on $Al_2O_3$(0001) substrates under various nitrogen pressure and plasma power by electron cyclotron resonance molecular beam epitaxy were investigated by full width at half maximum of X-ray diffraction peak and scanning electron microscope. It was found that the nitrogen pressure has a large effect on the FWHM value of XRD, and the GaN film grown under the optimum nitrogen pressure contains high density of dislocations. These results suggest that the crystal quality is sensitive to the plasma source conditions and that the relaxation of stress depends of V/III ratio. However, substrate-surface nitridation has little effect on the relaxation of misfit stress.

  • Nano- and microstructured indium nitride crystals were synthesized by the reaction of indium oxide ($In_2O_3$) powder and its pellet with ammonia in the temperature range 580-700 ${^{\circ}C}$. The degree of nitridation of $In_2O_3$ to InN was very sensitive to the nitridation temperature. The formation of zero- to three-dimensional structured InN crystals demonstrated that $In_2O_3$ is nitridated to InN via two dominant parallel routes (solid ($In_2O_3$)-to-solid (InN) and gas ($In_2O$)-to-solid (InN)). The growth of InN crystals with such various morphologies was explained by the vapor-solid (VS) mechanism where the degree of supersaturation of In vapor determines the growth morphology and the vapor was mainly by the reaction of $In_2O$ with ammonia and partially by sublimation of solid InN. The pellet method was proven to be useful to obtain homogeneous InN nanowires.
