The dependence of the optical transition energy E t of GaN quantum disks (Qdisks) embedded within (Al,Ga)N nanocolumns grown on a (111) Si substrate on disk thickness, disk diameter, barrier thickness, and barrier composition has been investigated by both spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy and applying a theoretical model. Results of E t on the disk and barrier thickness, as well as barrier composition resemble those of corresponding quantum wells, whereas results on the disk diameter are essentially determined by the lateral strain distribution of the Qdisks.
