A manuscript has been prepared and will soon be submitted for publication. Recently we have discovered a way of growing GaN single crystal nanowires and nanocylinders. The diameters of these fibers range from 20 nanometers up to several micrometers and their length can exceed 100 microns. From our point of view this is a solution waiting for an application. We are very excited about the fibers, but don't quite know what to do with them.
Suggestions are welcome.
Vinyl Radical Visible Spectroscopy - This project is a collaboration between Drs. Craig Taatjes and Andrew McIlroy of Sandia National Laboratory, California, Prof. Charles Pibel of American University and Prof. Halpern. My students, Katina Patrick and Sterling Alfred have worked on these experiments. The collaboration has evolved out of a one week feasibility experiment that we did at Sandia in September 98. We have used cavity ring down spectroscopy to measure the absorption spectrum of vinyl radical.
