Gallium nitride nanorods were synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition using the reaction of gallium/gallium nitride with ammonia. All nanorods have, exclusively, a triangle cross section with an average diameter of 50 nm. They consist of single-crystalline wurtzite structure crystal grown with the [010] direction. X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy data suggest no shift of the lattice constants from those of the bulk. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence exhibits the and free-to-bound emission peaks. The present triangular gallium nitride nanorods would be free from the stress, having the band-gap energy of the bulk.
