Abstract
Group-III nitrides are promising candidates as materials for fabrication of short-wavelength light emitting devices, because the wurtzite polytypes of InN, GaN, and A1N form a continuous alloy system whose direct-band-gap energy ranged from 1.9 eV for InN, 3.4 eV for GaN, and to 6.2 eV for A1N.
