Drifts surface characterization of Zincblende nanostructured GaN

MRS Online Proceedings Library volume 501, pages191–196(1997)Cite this article

Abstract

The use of GaN/polymer nanocomposites in optoelectronics requires a perfect control of the GaN dispersion in the polymer matrix. This cannot be achieved without a good knowledge of the first atomic layer of the GaN nanoparticles. This paper reports the characterization of the surface chemical species of a GaN nanosized powder by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectrometry.
