We report formation of aligned nanostructures on epitaxially grown polar and nonpolar GaN films via wet chemical (hot H3PO4 and KOH) etching. The morphological evolution exhibited stress relaxed faceted nanopyramids, flat/trigonal nanorods and porous structures with high hydrophilicity and reduced wettability. The nanostructured films divulged significant suppression of defects and displayed an enhanced intensity ratio of the near band edge emission to the defect band. Extensive photoemission analysis revealed variation in oxidation state along with elimination of OH− and adsorbed H2O molecules from the chemically modified surfaces. Fermi level pinning, and alteration in the surface polarity with substantial changes in the electron affinities were also perceived. The temperature dependent current–voltage analysis of the nanostructured surfaces displayed enhancement in current conduction. The in-depth analysis demonstrates that the chemically etched samples could potentially be utilized as templates in the design/growth of III-nitride based high performance devices.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
