InN nanorods prepared with CrN nanoislands by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The authors report the influence of CrN nanoisland inserted on growth of baseball-bat InN nanorods by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy under In-rich conditions. By inserting CrN nanoislands between AlN nucleation layer and the Si (111) substrate, it was fou...
