title: The synthesis route and the growth mechanism of aligned GaN nanobelts.
abstract: Crystallographically aligned GaN nanobelt arrays were synthesized through a hybrid process of Au-assisted nucleation followed by non-Au-assisted anisotropy vapor-solid growth on a (100) γ-LiAlO2 substrate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on aligned GaN nanobelts.
