Density control of GaN nanowires at the wafer scale using self-assembled SiN x patches on sputtered TiN(111)

The self-assembly of heteroepitaxial GaN nanowires using either molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) mostly results in wafer-scale ensembles with ultrahigh (>10 m ) or ultralow (
