| Abstract | The effects of short-ranged ordering on the electronic states of disordered GaN were investigated using x-ray absorption and emission spectroscopic techniques. Nanocrystalline samples with crystallites as small as 3 nm were found to exhibit an electronic structure resembling a broadened version of that in crystalline GaN. The oxygen containing films were found to show an additional peak in the density of states just above the conduction band edge. The results reveal the signature of molecular nitrogen trapped within the films in both the absorption and emission spectra. |
