Abstract

Both wurtzite-and zincblende-GaN films have been grown on sapphire and MgO substrates, respectively, and examined by photoluminescence and x-ray analysis. GaN films were grown on suitably prepared Al2O3 and MgO substrates by molecular beam epitaxy employing a rf plasma discharge, nitrogen free radical source. The wurtzite-and zincblende-GaN films exhibited dominant near band-edge emission, the nature of which will be compared and contrasted for both phases in this paper. X-ray diffraction data for both phases will also be discussed.
