Patent granted for group-iii nitride semiconductor nanoparticles with dual crystal structures
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11767469B2) describes a new type of group-III nitride semiconductor nanoparticle. The nanoparticle is represented by the formula AlxGayInzN, where the values of x, y, and z range from 0 to 1. The unique feature of this nanoparticle is that it contains two crystal structures, namely a wurtzite structure and a zincblende structure, within a single particle. The nanoparticle can have either an elliptical shape or a rod-like shape.
According to the patent claims, the ratio of the zincblende structure within the particle is important. Claim 2 states that the particle should have a ratio of zincblende structure in the range of 25% to 50% based on XRD diffraction intensity. Claim 3 further narrows down the range to 30% to 50% based on XRD diffraction intensity.
Another aspect of the invention is the core-shell structure of the nanoparticle. Claim 4 describes a group-III nitride semiconductor nanoparticle with a core-shell structure, where the core contains the two crystal structures (wurtzite and zincblende) within the particle. The core and the shell have different lattice constants.
The shape of the nanoparticle is also mentioned in the claims. Claim 6 states that the nanoparticle can have a rod-like shape or a disk-like shape.
Overall, this patent describes a novel group-III nitride semiconductor nanoparticle with two crystal structures (wurtzite and zincblende) within a single particle. The patent claims specify the desired ratio of zincblende structure and the possible shapes of the nanoparticle. This invention could have potential applications in various fields, including electronics, optoelectronics, and photonics.
