Preparation of InN nanocrystals by solvo-thermal method

Bai YJ, Liu ZG, Xu XG, Cui DL, Hao XP, Feng X, Wang QL

Indium nitride (InN) nanocrystals were successfully prepared by the reaction of InCl3 and Li3N at 250degreesC with xylene as the solvent. X-ray powder diffraction and TEM observation showed that the two phases of cubic InN and hexagonal InN coexist in the nanocrystals prepared by the solvo-thermal method.
