GaN nanorods grown on Si (111) substrates and exciton localization

<p>Abstract</p> <p>We have investigated exciton localization in binary GaN nanorods using micro- and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements. The temperature dependence of the photoluminescence has been measured, and several phonon replicas have been observed at the lower ener...
