Eu2+-doped GaN (GaN:Eu2+) nanofibers were synthesized by a facile approach that combined electrospinning and ammonification techniques. SEM and TEM images revealed that the nanofibers consist of GaN nanoparticles with uniform size. XRD result showed that the GaN:Eu2+ sample predominantly exhibited the hexagonal phase of GaN (h-GaN) and the average grain size was evaluated to be 7.3 nm. Further Raman characterization showed that two extra GaN Raman shifts with the peaks of 252 and 422 cm-1 were observed. As was expected, characteristic strong blue emission from Eu2+ ions doped in GaN matrix was observed at 407 nm in the photoluminescence spectrum.
