A pencil-like morphology of homoepitaxially grown GaN nanowires is exploited for the fabrication of thin conformal intrawire InGaN nanoshells which host quantum dots in nonpolar, semipolar and polar crystal regions. All three quantum dot types exhibit single photon emission with narrow emission line widths and high degrees of linear optical polarization. The host crystal region strongly affects both single photon wavelength and emission lifetime, reaching subnanosecond time scales for the non- and semipolar quantum dots. Localization sites in the InGaN potential landscape, most likely induced by indium fluctuations across the InGaN nanoshell, are identified as the driving mechanism for the single photon emission. The hereby reported pencil-like InGaN nanoshell is the first single nanostructure able to host all three types of single photon sources and is, thus, a promising building block for tunable quantum light devices integrated into future photonic circuits.

Cathodoluminescence measurements on single InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) are reported. Complex spectra with up to five emission lines per QD are observed. The lines are polarized along the orthogonal crystal directions [1 1 -2 0] and [-1 1 0 0]. Reali
stic eight-band k.p electronic structure calculations show that the polarization of the lines can be explained by excitonic recombinations involving hole states which are either formed by the A or the B valence band.
High resolution coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy of an ensemble of red-emitting InGaN quantum dots in GaN nanowires is reported. The data show a pronounced atom-like interaction between resonant laser fields and quantum dot excitons at low tem
perature that is difficult to observe in the linear absorption spectrum due to inhomogeneous broadening from indium fluctuation effects. We find that the nonlinear signal persists strongly at room temperature. The robust atom-like room temperature response indicates the possibility that this material could serve as the platform for proposed excitonic based applications without the need of cryogenics.
We present a study of the polarization properties of emission lines from single InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs). The QDs, formed by spinodal decomposition within ultra-thin InGaN quantum wells, are investigated using single-QD cathodoluminescence (CL).
The emission lines exhibit a systematic linear polarization in the orthogonal crystal directions [1 1 -2 0] and [-1 1 0 0]--a symmetry that is non-native to hexagonal crystals. Eight-band k.p calculations reveal a mechanism that can explain the observed polarizations: The character of the hole(s) in an excitonic complex determines the polarization direction of the respective emission if the QD is slightly elongated. Transitions involving A-band holes are polarized parallel to the elongation; transitions involving B-type holes are polarized in the orthogonal direction. The energetic separation of both hole states is smaller than 10 meV. The mechanism leading to the linear polarizations is not restricted to InGaN QDs, but should occur in other wurtzite-nitride QDs and in materials with similar valence band structure.
The optical emission of InGaN quantum dots embedded in GaN nanowires is dynamically controlled by a surface acoustic wave (SAW). The emission energy of both the exciton and biexciton lines is modulated over a 1.5 meV range at ~330 MHz. A small but sy
stematic difference in the exciton and biexciton spectral modulation reveals a linear change of the biexciton binding energy with the SAW amplitude. The present results are relevant for the dynamic control of individual single photon emitters based on nitride semiconductors.
We demonstrate a series of InGaN/GaN double quantum well nanostructure elements. We grow a layer of 2 {mu}m undoped GaN template on top of a (0001)-direction sapphire substrate. A 100 nm SiO2 thin film is deposited on top as a masking pattern layer.
This layer is then covered with a 300 nm aluminum layer as the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) hole pattern layer. After oxalic acid etching, we transfer the hole pattern from the AAO layer to the SiO2 layer by reactive ion etching. Lastly, we utilize metal-organic chemical vapor deposition to grow GaN nanorods approximately 1.5 {mu}m in size. We then grow two layers of InGaN/GaN double quantum wells on the semi-polar face of the GaN nanorod substrate under different temperatures. We then study the characteristics of the InGaN/GaN quantum wells formed on the semi-polar faces of GaN nanorods. We report the following findings from our study: first, using SiO2 with repeating hole pattern, we are able to grow high-quality GaN nanorods with diameters of approximately 80-120 nm; second, photoluminescence (PL) measurements enable us to identify Fabry-Perot effect from InGaN/GaN quantum wells on the semi-polar face. We calculate the quantum wells cavity thickness with obtained PL measurements. Lastly, high resolution TEM images allow us to study the lattice structure characteristics of InGaN/GaN quantum wells on GaN nanorod and identify the existence of threading dislocations in the lattice structure that affects the GaN nanorods growth mechanism.
