Abstract The ground state phases of ternary alloys of rare earth and group III nitride semiconductors have been investigated within the density functional theory. The most energetically favorable crystal phases among possible cubic and hexagonal structures, i.e., the rock salt, zinc blende, wurtzite, and hexagonal BN, were determined. The type of a unit cell and the lattice parameters of the materials are presented as a function of their composition. Furthermore, effects of strain on ground states of group III and rare earth nitride materials are discussed. The findings presented in this work discloses the wurtzite type materials as being stable with relatively low contents of rare earth elements. It is expected that the wurtzite phase will be very persistent only in the La-based systems. Nevertheless, the two-dimensional hexagonal atomic layers are revealed as being a metastable phase for all alloys studied. This finding supports the conclusion of previous experimental reports for Sc-doped GaN systems that the presence of rare earth ions in group III nitride materials leads to flattening of the wurtzite type layers.

Dry etching of indium-based III–V materials in chlorine-based gases is difficult because of the low vapor pressure of the indium chloride by-product. Recently, reactive ion etching of InP(1,2), and GaAs(3,4) using methane, hydrogen and argon mixture in which volatile organometallic group III compounds are formed has been employed. In this paper, we report the reactive ion etching of indium-based materials using CH4:H2:Ar and SiCl4:Ar mixtures.

InN can form ternary alloys with Ga or Al, which increases the versatility of group-III nitride optoelectronic devices.

Abstract Optical polarization is an indispensable component in photonic applications, the orthogonality of which extends the degree of freedom of information, and strongly polarized and highly efficient small-size emitters are essential for compact polarization-based devices. We propose a group III-nitride quantum wire for a highly-efficient, strongly-polarized emitter, the polarization anisotropy of which stems solely from its one-dimensionality. We fabricated a site-selective and size-controlled single quantum wire using the geometrical shape of a three-dimensional structure under a self-limited growth mechanism. We present a strong and robust optical polarization anisotropy at room temperature emerging from a group III-nitride single quantum wire. Based on polarization-resolved spectroscopy and strain-included 6-band k·p calculations, the strong anisotropy is mainly attributed to the anisotropic strain distribution caused by the one-dimensionality, and its robustness to temperature is associated with an asymmetric quantum confinement effect.
