Popis: A free-standing nanopillar with a diameter of 300 nm, and a height of 2 μm is successfully demonstrated by focused ion beam milling. The measured micro-photoluminescence (μ-PL) from the embedded InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells shows a blue shift of 68 meV in energy with a broadened full-width at half maximum, ~200meV. Moreover, the power-dependent μ-PL measurement confirms that the strain-relaxed emission region of the nanopillar exhibits a higher radiative recombination rate than that of the as-grown structure, indicating great potential for realizing high-efficiency nano devices in the UV/blue wavelength range.
