Semiconductor materials are central to modern technology, from clean energy generation and quantum computing to high-speed communication. Among them, gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires have attracted strong interest for their excellent electrical conductivity, optical performance, and thermal stability. These qualities make them ideal for energy-efficient devices such as solar cells, LEDs, and photoelectrochemical systems. However, their full potential is still limited by the complex behaviour of dopants—impurities added to control conductivity—and the structural defects that often follow.
