Background:

Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a key material for optoelectronic devices.
Achieving broadband and multi-color emission from GaN is crucial for advanced lighting applications.
Controlling crystal facet growth is essential for tuning emission properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To realize multi-color and broadband visible emission using hexagonal annular GaN structures.
To investigate the relationship between crystal facets and emission characteristics.
To explore the potential of these structures for efficient visible lighting.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of hexagonal annular GaN structures via selective-area growth.
Cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy to analyze emission properties.
Analysis of facet-dependent emission wavelengths and indium composition.

Main Results:

The hexagonal annular GaN structures exhibited emissions ranging from purple to green.
Different facets, including (0001), {101}, and {112}, showed distinct peak emission wavelengths (525 nm, 440 nm, and 412 nm, respectively).
{101} facets demonstrated higher indium incorporation efficiency, leading to longer wavelength emission.

Conclusions:

The hexagonal annular GaN structure enables facet-dependent, multi-color, and broadband visible light emission.
Facet engineering in GaN is a viable strategy for achieving high-efficiency lighting sources.
These structures serve as promising building blocks for next-generation lighting technologies.
