| Description | Journal: Nanotechnology Bulk gallium phosphide (GaP) crystallizes in the zinc-blende structure and has an indirect bandgap. However, GaP nanowires can be synthesized in the wurtzite phase. The contradictory theoretical predictions and experimental reports on the band-structure of wurtzite GaP suggests a direct or a pseudo-direct bandgap. There are only a few reports of the growth and luminescence from wurtzite and zinc-blende GaP nanowires. We first present a comprehensive study of the gold catalyzed growth of GaP nanowires via metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy on various crystalline and amorphous substrates. We optimized the growth parameters like temperature, pressure and reactant flow rates to grow wurtzite GaP nanowires with minimal taper. These wires were characterized using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The luminescence studies of bare GaP NWs and GaP/AlGaP core shell heterostructures with wurtzite and zinc-blende phase GaP cores suggest that wurtzite phase GaP has a pseudo-direct bandgap with weak near-band-edge luminescence intensity. |
