  This article presents the use of flexible carbon substrates for the growth of
III-nitride nanowire light emitters. A dense packing of gallium nitride
nanowires were grown on a carbon paper substrate. The nanowires grew
predominantly along the a-plane direction, normal to the local surface of the
carbon paper. Strong photo- and electro-luminescence was observed from InGaN
quantum well light emitting diode nanowires.
