III-nitride based quantum dots (QD) are promising candidates for room-temperature quantum emitters due to the large exciton binding energies and strong confinement of this material system. Using transmission electron microscopy combined with cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (STEM-CL) we report on structural and spatially resolved optical properties of a GaN/AlN heterostructure with GaN grown under low V/III ratio to promote QD formation.

The GaN layer has been grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy on a c-plane AlN/sapphire template at 1050°C and immediately capped by AlN.

Structural investigations showed a continuously formed GaN layer with local thickness fluctuations. Nanoscale cathodoluminescence measurements at room temperature as well as 16 K revealed spots of high intensity within GaN-layer. Highly spatially resolved CL investigations show various sharp emission peaks around 300 nm from these spots.
