We report the growth of InxGa1−xN/GaN “strain-balanced” multiple quantum wells (SBMQWs) grown on thick InyGa1−yN templates for x > y by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. SBMQWs consist of alternating layers of InxGa1−xN wells and GaN barriers under compressive and tensile stress, respectively, which have been lattice matched to a thick InyGa1−yN template. Growth of the InyGa1−yN template is also detailed in order to achieve thick, relaxed InyGa1−yN grown on GaN without the presence of V-grooves. When compared to conventional InxGa1−xN/GaN MQWs grown on GaN, the SBMQW structures exhibit longer wavelength emission and higher emission intensity for the same InN mole fraction due to a reduction in the well strain and piezoelectric field. By matching the average lattice constant of the MQW active region to the lattice constant of the InyGa1−yN template, essentially an infinite number of periods can be grown using the SBMQW growth method without relaxation-related effects. SBMQWs can be utilized to achieve longer wavelength emission in light emitting diodes without the use of excess indium and can be advantageous in addressing the “green gap.”}, number={3}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Broeck, D.

Nanowires of ∼109/cm,2 total height of ∼400 nm, and diameters of 170–200 nm were obtained. These nanowires have both non-polar {11¯00}/ {112¯0} and semi-polar {1011¯} facets. X–Ray Diffraction characterization shows that screw dislocations are primarily responsible for preferential etching to create nanowires. Indium gallium nitride multi-quantum wells (MQWs) grown on these GaN nanowires showed a blue shift in peak emission wavelength of photoluminescence spectra, and full width at half maximum decreased relative to MQWs grown on planar N-polar GaN, respectively.}, number={8}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Bharrat, D. and Hosalli, A.
