Abstract

Polycrystalline GaN fibers have been produced by the polymer-derived- ceramic (PDC) technique. The wurtzite-polymorphic fibers appear to emerge from complex nucleation and grain growth mechanisms, being mostly unconstrained during initial polymer to ceramic conversion. The importance of carrier polymer architecture and alignment is highlighted towards controlled microstructure.
