We reported intensive greenish white light electroluminescence, accompanied with 364 nm bandedge emission from GaN nanowires/p‐GaN light emitting diode operated in the high‐field forward bias regime. Strong bandedge emission, dominant over visible luminescence from bandgap state transitions, was also observed in the reverse bias regime. These observations were ascribed to a formation of n + ‐p tunnel junction in the high‐field regime and emission mechanism due to photon‐assisted tunneling process. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
