Morphology changes are assessed by scanning electron microscopy, while emission is measured by photoluminescence. Within the growth temperature range of 750 to 650°C, an increase in In incorporation for decreasing temperature is observed. This effect allows tailoring the InGaN nanocolumns emission line shape by using temperature gradients during growth. Depending on the gradient rate, span, and sign, broad emission line shapes are obtained, covering the yellow to green range, even yielding white emission. %G English %2 https://hal.science/hal-00631167/document %2 https://hal.science/hal-00631167/file/APL99-131108-Albert-2011.pdf %L hal-00631167 %U https://hal.science/hal-00631167 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ L2C %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2 %~ UM-2015-2021
