We investigate the structural and optical properties of spontaneously formed GaN nanowires with different degrees of coalescence. This quantity is determined by an analysis of the cross-sectional area and perimeter of the nanowires obtained…

Top-down fabricated GaN nanowires, 250 nm in diameter and with various heights, have been used to experimentally determine the evolution of strain along the vertical direction of 1-dimensional objects. X-ray diffraction and…

We analyze the strain state of GaN nanowire ensembles by x-ray diffraction. The nanowires are grown by molecular beam epitaxy on a Si(111) substrate in a self-organized manner. On a macroscopic scale, the nanowires are found to be free of…

We study the three-dimensional deformation field induced by an axial (In,Ga)N segment in a GaN nanowire. Using the finite element method within the framework of linear elasticity theory, we study the dependence of the strain field on the…

The coalescence in dense arrays of spontaneously formed GaN nanowires proceeds by bundling: adjacent nanowires bend and merge at their top, thus reducing their surface energy at the expense of the elastic energy of bending. We give a…

The investigation of small size embedded nanostructures, by a combination of complementary anomalous diffraction techniques, is reported. GaN Quantum Dots (QDs), grown by molecular beam epitaxy in a modified Stranski-Krastanow mode, are…

GaN nanowires (NWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Ti films sputtered on Al$_{2}$O$_{3}$ are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). XRD, performed both in symmetric Bragg…

Dynamically compressed materials in longitudinal waves are described by two physical models: hydrostatic pressure, with equal, normal, principal stresses or material uniaxially strained in the wave propagation direction. These models are…

This work presents a systematic study of stress and strain of AlxGa1-xN/AlN with composition ranging from GaN to AlN, grown on a c-plane sapphire by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, using synchrotron radiation high-resolution X-ray…

We investigate in detail the self-assembled nucleation and growth of GaN nanowires by molecular beam epitaxy on crystalline TiN films. We demonstrate that this type of substrate allows the growth of long and thin GaN nanowires that do not…

Core-shell Ge-SixGe1-x nanowires (NWs) are expected to contain large strain fields due to the lattice-mismatch at the core/shell interface. Here we report the measurement of core strain in a NW heterostructure using Raman spectroscopy. We…

Single GaN nanowires formed spontaneously on a given substrate represent nanoscopic single crystals free of any extended defects. However, due to the high area density of thus formed GaN nanowire ensembles, individual nanowires coalesce…

Self assembled AlN nanowires (NWs) are grown by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) on SiO2 / Si (111) substrates. Using a combination of in-situ reflective high energy electron diffraction and ex situ X ray diffraction (XRD), we…

Several of the key issues of planar (Al,Ga)N-based deep-ultraviolet light emitting diodes could potentially be overcome by utilizing nanowire heterostructures, exhibiting high structural perfection and improved light extraction. Here, we…

Van der Waals heteroepitaxy allows deterministic control over lattice mismatch or azimuthal orientation between atomic layers to produce long wavelength superlattices. The resulting electronic phases depend critically on the superlattice…

Few-layer GaSe is one of the latest additions to the family of 2D semiconducting crystals whose properties under strain are still relatively unexplored. Here, we study rippled nanosheets that exhibit a periodic compressive and tensile…

We study the luminescence of unintentionally doped and Si-doped In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$N nanowires with a low In content (x<0.2) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on Si substrates. The emission band observed at 300 K from the unintentionally doped…

Gallium nitride nanowire and nanorod substrates with different morphology are prospective platforms allowing to control the local strain distribution in graphene films top of them, resulting in an induction of pseudomagnetic fields. Atomic…

Strain-engineering in SiGe nanostructures is fundamental for the design of optoelectronic devices at the nanoscale. Here we explore a new strategy, where SiGe structures are laterally confined by the Si substrate, to obtain high tensile…

GaAs/Fe$_{3}$Si core/shell nanowire structures were fabricated by molecular-beam epitaxy on oxidized Si(111) substrates and investigated by synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The surfaces of the Fe$_3$Si shells exhibit nanofacets. These facets…
