Abstract

We report metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of indium nitride (InN) nanotips with apex angles of 10° and length and base diameter of around 1 μm and 200 nm, respectively. The structure of the hexagonal InN nanotips growing along [002] was studied by electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction, and the optical properties were studied using temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) measurements. A narrow emission peak with a 18 meV full width at half maximum positioned at 0.77 eV was obtained with no visible emission. A PL quenching of only 14% was observed with a temperature scan of 15-320 K.
