Description: 
We present two different methods to pattern the band gap of dilute nitrides in their growth plane by exploiting the unique capability of H to passivate N in these materials. By deposition of metallic masks on and subsequent H irradiation of GaAs1−xNx, we artificially create zones of the crystal having the band gap of untreated GaAs1−xNx well surrounded by GaAs‐like barriers. Alternatively, by focusing an energetic e−‐beam on the surface of hydrogenated GaAs1−xNx we displace H atoms from their N passivation sites, thus leading to a controlled decrease in the crystal band gap in the spatial region where the e−‐beam is steered.
