Abstract
Fine and green light-emitting diodes and laser diodes are often fabricated using semiconducting GaN. Here polymers derived from gallium carbodiimide a re used as precursors to crystalline GaN bulk materials and films, the tran sformation being achieved via thermolysis in ammonia gas. The Figure is a T EM image of GaN powder synthesized in this manner.
