- Photoconduction (PC) properties were investigated for ternary indium aluminium nitride (InxAl1-xN) nanorods (NRs) with different indium compositions (x) from 0.35 to 0.68, as grown by direct-current reactive magnetron sputter epitaxy. Cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) reveals single-crystal quality of the vertically aligned InxAl1-xN NRs. Single-rod photodetector devices with good ohmic contacts were fabricated using the focused-ion-beam technique (FIB), where the In-rich In0.68Al0.32N NR exhibits an optimal photocurrent responsivity of 1400 A W-1 and photoconductive gain of 3300. A transition from a positive photoresponse to a negative photoresponse was observed, while increasing the In composition x from 0.35 to 0.57. The negative PC was further enhanced by increasing x to 0.68. A model based on the coexistence and competition of deep electron trap states and recombination centers was proposed to explain the interesting composition-dependent PC in these ternary III-nitride 1D nanostructures.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The electronic transport properties of the wide-bandgap aluminum indium nitride (AlInN) nanorods (NRs) grown by ultrahigh-vacuum magnetron sputter epitaxy (MSE) have been studied. The conductivities of the ternary compound nanostructure locates at the value of 15 Q-1 cm -1, which is respectively one and two orders of magnitude lower than the binary GaN and InN counterparts grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The very shallow donor level/band with the activation energy at 11 + 2 meV was obtained by the temperature-dependent measurement. In addition, the photoconductivity has also been investigated. The photoconductive (PC) gain of the NRs device can reach near 2400 under a low bias at 0.1 V and the light intensity at 100W m-2 for ultraviolet response in vacuum. The power-insensitive gain and ambience-dependent photocurrent are also observed, which is attributed to the probable surfacecontrolled PC mechanism in this ternary nitride nanostructure.

Composition tunable Al1-xInxN nanorod arrays grown by ultra-high-vacuum magnetron sputter epitaxy

Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Self-assembled ternary Al1-xInxN nanorod arrays with variable In concentration, 0.10 ≤ x ≤ 0.32 have been realized onto c-plane sapphire substrates by ultra-high-vacuum magnetron sputter epitaxy with Ti0.21Zr0.79N or VN seed layers assistance. The formation of nanorods was very sensitive to the applied seed layer. Without proper seed layer assistance a continuous Al1-xInxN film was grown. The nanorods exhibit hexagonal crosssections with preferential growth along the c axis. A coaxial rod structure with higher In concentration in the core was observed by (scanning) transmission electron microscopy in combination with low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy and energy dispersive xray spectroscopy. 5 K cathodoluminescence spectroscopy of Al0.86In0.14N nanorods revealed band edge emission at ~5.46 eV, which was accompanied by a strong defectrelated emission at ~ 3.38 eV.
