Monoclinic gallium oxide (-Ga2O3) nanowires and zigzag-shaped nanostructures were synthesized successfullyby heat treating the pre-prepared GaN powder at 900 C in dry nitrogen/oxygen atmosphere. The structures,morphologies, and compositions of the calcined products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. The results revealed that the as-synthesized -Ga2O3 nanowiresand zigzag-shaped nanostuctures were pure, with high crystallinities and lengths of up to tens of micrometers.Here, The formation of diameter-modulated zigzag -Ga2O3 nanostructures is reported for the first time. Apossible growth mechanism for the formation of different morphologies of -Ga2O3 is proposed. Besides, theoptical property of -Ga2O3 was observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra, which showed that theas-prepared product emits strong visible luminescence at 416 and 580 nm ( ex = 250 nm).
