Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) system was used to grow GaN nanowire based on the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism. Nanoporous alumina templates and electron-beam lithography methods was used to pattern the substrate with the required catalyst necessary for the growth of the nanostructures. Optical and electrical properties study of GaN nanowire will be provided
