Indium nitride nanowires for efficient light emitters



Quantum confinement boosts excitonic optical emission into the visible range at green and cyan wavelengths tailored by nanowire diameter and cross-sectional shape.

Inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are the essential components of many display and illumination technologies. However, the energy efficiency of LEDs suffers both at high power and at green wavelengths.
