A novel method to synthesize one-dimensional nanostructure GaN by post-nitriding Ga_2O_3 film deposited by RF magnetron sputtering was developed. The method requires neither metal catalyst nor the effect of nanometer-sized confinement, and it simplifies nanostructures fabrication and is highly beneficial to the consequential applications of the nanostructrures. The morphology and lattice structure of GaN nanostructures were investigated by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAD). The results indicate that the crystalline GaN nanostructures have a hexagonal wurtzite structure, and there is not any other phase such as Ga_2O_3 or Ga in the specimen. It also confirms that high quality crystal is obtained in the resulting sample due to the lattice defects in the films decreases and the crystallinity improves in the process of nitridation at high temperature. The growth mechanism of the GaN nanostructures was briefly discussed.
