Abstract

GaN single crystals were grown in Na or Na-Ga melts with different addition of Li3N by recrystallization under temperature gradient conditions (730-800°C). Colorless transparent platelet single crystals having a size of about 2mm grew after 100h in some Na-Ga melts containing Li3N. The full-width at half-maximum of X-ray rocking curves measured for the (0002) reflection of the crystals was 40-60arcsec, showing that the crystals have a good quality.
