In-situRHEED and AFM at the initial growth stages indicate nucleation of 6H-GaN at the nanofacets followed by step-flow towards the vicinal direction [1-100] of the substrate. No nuclei on the terraces, generally resulting in 2H-polytype, are observed. Continuous growth under the same condition gives a ~50nm-thick GaN film to be analyzed by Raman and PL. Clear two zone-folded phonon modes are observed between E1(TO) and E2(high), which is indicative of the formation of 6H-polytype. The PL spectrum indicates different energy transitions from 2H-GaN: a peak at 3.33eV is shifted by -0.13eV, which also supports the formation of the 6H-polytype. This is due to the reduced bandgap in 6H-polytype, in agreement with theoretical predictions.

初始生长阶段的原位 RHEED 和 AFM 表明 6H-GaN 在纳米面上成核，然后逐步流向衬底的邻近方向 [1-100]。没有观察到平台上的核，通常导致2H多型体。在相同条件下连续生长得到约 50 nm 厚的 GaN 薄膜，可供拉曼和 PL 分析。在E1(TO)和E2(high)之间观察到清晰的两个区域折叠声子模式，这表明6H多型体的形成。 PL 谱表明与 2H-GaN 不同的能量跃迁：3.33eV 处的峰值偏移了 -0.13eV，这也支持 6H 多型体的形成。这是由于 6H 多型体的带隙减小，与理论预测一致。
