Gallium nitride nanorods have been synthesized, using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as templates, from gallium oxide in a phosphorus atmosphere. The GaP rods initially produced have diameters similar to the CNT templates, and then epitaxial growth of GaP—shown to occur after template removal, see right‐hand part of the Figure—increases the diameter. The nanorods were characterized using TEM, XRD, and SAED.
