Popis: | Ga+ ion implantation of chemical-vapor-deposited GaN nanowires (NWs) is studied using a 50-keV Ga+ focused ion beam. The role of dynamic annealing (defect-annihilation) is discussed with an emphasis on the fluence-dependent defect structure. Unlike heavy-ion-irradiated epitaxial GaN film, large-scale amorphization is suppressed until a very high fluence of 2×1016 ions cm−2. In contrast to extended-defects as reported for heavy-ion-irradiated epitaxial GaN film, point-defect clusters are identified as major component in irradiated NWs. Enhanced dynamic annealing induced by high diffusivity of mobile point-defects in the confined geometry of NWs is identified as the probable reason for observed differences. |
