The request for room-temperature diluted magnetic semiconductors resulted in a large interest in GaN doped with transition metals. Recent investigations have shown that beside of the real dilute state spinodal decomposition as well as the formation of secondary phases may play an important role in the discussion of the origin of the ferromagnetism in GaN [1,2]. In this study, the formation of secondary phases was investigated in GaN epilayers deposited on sapphire and implanted with 57Fe ions (3, 8 and 16×1016 cm−2) at room temperature. Samples were annealed at 750 - 1200 C in N2 and Ar flow for durations between some ms and some minutes. The formation of secondary phases in Fe implanted GaN upon annealing a N2-flow was detected ex-situ by means of x-ray diffraction and Mössbauer spectroscopy and supported by SQUID magnetometry. During annealing in reduced N2 atmosphere the reverse phase change from Fe3N at room temperature to Fe2.4N at 1023 K was observed by means of in-situ x-ray diffraction. Samples, annealed by a flash lamp illumination in an Ar flow showed the formation of different secondary phases depending on annealing time and temperature.
