摘要
GaN nanoparticles, 3-4 nm in size, are synthesized in a microemulsion using liquid ammonia as the polar droplet phase. Surprisingly, GaN is readily crystalline although prepared at -40 degrees C. The nanoparticles show a band gap of 4.4 eV as well as light emission with its maximum at 336 nm. Both confirm the expected quantum-confinement effect.
