Abstract

We demonstrate the growth of indium nitride (InN) nanorods on sapphire by chemical-beam epitaxy without a catalyst. The nanorods are synthesized nearly unidirectionally along the 〈001〉 direction and the diameters varied in the range of 20-40 nm with InN flow ratio. Single-crystalline wurtzite structure is verified by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Raman measurements show that these wurtzite InN nanorods have sharp peaks E2 (high) at 491 cm-1 and A1 (LO) at 593 cm-1.
