摘要
GaN-core/Cu-shell nanowires were prepared and their annealing behavior was investigated. The thermal annealing induced the surface-roughening of the hetero-nanowires due to the agglomeration and generation of cluster-like structures from the Cu-shell layers. X-ray diffraction suggested that the thermal annealing generated CuOx phases. The core GaN nanowires exhibited weak ferromagnetism at 5K and their coercivity was increased by Cu-sputtering and subsequent thermal annealing at 800 degrees C. In the Gaussian deconvolution studies, the photoluminescence (PL) spectra exhibited emission bands centered at 2.0 and 3.2 eV, irrespective of the Cu-coating and/or thermal annealing. A mechanism is proposed to explain the significant change in the intensity of the ultraviolet (UV) emission by the combination of Cu-sputtering and annealing at 1000 degrees C. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
