Growth of GaN@InGaN Core-Shell and Au-GaN Hybrid Nanostructures for Energy Applications

We demonstrated a method to control the bandgap energy of GaN nanowires by forming GaN@InGaN core-shell hybrid structures using metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Furthermore, we show the growth of Au nanoparticles on the surface of GaN nanowires in solution at room temperature. The wo...
