TLDR
An X-ray diffraction study of gallium nitride grown on the c-plane and r-plane of sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition using triethylgallium and ammonia was performed by measuring asymmetric reflections with a ω-2θ two-circle diffractometer.
Abstract
An X-ray diffraction study of gallium nitride grown on the c-plane (0001) and r-plane (0112) of sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapour deposition using triethylgallium and ammonia was performed. By measuring asymmetric reflections with a ω-2θ two-circle diffractometer, lattice constants of α-GaN could be resolved for both substrate orientations and the epitaxial relationships could be confirmed. Additionally, the existence of β-GaN on the r-plane sapphire substrate could be deterimined. Pole figure measurements show different qualities of in-plane orientation of the α-GaN layers for the two substrate orientations.

III-V nitrides for electronic and optoelectronic applications

TL;DR: In this article, a review of recent developments in III-V nitride thin-film materials for electronic and optoelectronic applications is presented. But, the lack of a suitable substrate, with the possible exception of SiC for AlN, is a problem of considerable magnitude and is compounded by the presence of shallow donor bands in GaN and InN which are apparently caused by N vacancies.
