We have grown GaN films and GaN-AlGaN quantum wells (QWs) on homoepitaxial substrates, by molecular beam epitaxy using ammonia. Both the GaN film and the QW are found to have superior excitonic recombination properties which are extremely promising for the development of indium free ultra-violet lasers based on nitrides.
