摘要
The reaction mechanism for the ammonolysis of beta-gallium oxide (beta-Ga2O3) to gallium nitride (GaN) was elucidated by observing the morphology of microsized beta-Ga2O3 single crystals with a distinct shape under a flow of ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H-2) at elevated temperatures. The morphology of the microsized beta-Ga2O3 single crystals grown on the c-plane sapphire by the thermal annealing of gallium sulfide, was not retained after calcination under a flow of NH3 and H-2. These microstructural observations strongly support that the ammonolysis of beta-Ga2O3 to GaN proceeds through gaseous Ga2O, and that the rate of the reduction of beta-Ga2O3 to Ga2O is slower than that of the nitridation of Ga2O to GaN.
