Single‐crystal InN nanotubes and nanowires with a strong photoluminescence emission at 640 nm have been synthesized via a controlled‐carbonitridation thermal chemical route. Formation of the nanotubes and nanowires proceeds by a kinetically limited growth process via a vapor–solid (VS) mechanism, and does not require a template to form single‐layer nanostructures.
