Abstract
Crβdoped GaN nanowires have been proposed to be ferromagnetic, resulting from a charge overlap between the N 2p and Cr 3d states and to be more robust than Mnβdoped GaN nanowires. We demonstrated the successful fabrication of singleβcrystalline GaN nanowires doped with Cr, which show ferromagnetism at room temperature. The structural study shows that these nanowires have diameters of several tens of nm to a few 100βnm and are single crystalline with a Cr doping concentration of about 2.06 at%.

## Abstract This paper reports on the growth of Crβdoped GaN layers by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and their characterization for possible spintronic applications. We have used bis (cyclopentadienyl)chromium (Cp~2~Cr) to intentionally incorporate chromium (Cr) during GaN layer growth.
