    Structural analysis of strained quantum dots using nuclear magnetic resonance

    Strained semiconductor nanostructures can be used to make single-photon sources1, detectors2 and photovoltaic devices3, and could potentially be used to create quantum logic devices4,5. The development of such ap...

    Correlation Between the AlN Buffer Layer Thickness and the GaN Polarity in GaN/AlN/Si(111) Grown by MBE

    In this work it is shown that thin AlN buffer layers cause N-polarity GaN epilayers, with a high inversion domains density. When the AlN thickness increases, the polarity of the epilayer changes to Ga. The use...

    Map** of the effective electron mass in III–V semiconductors

    The effective mass in semiconductors is related to the mobility of charge carriers as well as the density of states. As electron mobility inherently influences semiconductor device performance, knowledge of th...

    Changes in plasmon peak position in a GaAs/Tn0.2Ga0.8As structure

    We have investigated changes in the plasmon loss peak seen in electron energy loss spectra from a 15 nm In0.2Ga0.8As layer in GaAs using a VG HB601 UX FEG-STEM. We observe a relative shift in plasmon peak positio...

    Effect of High Temperature Single and Multiple AlN Intermediate Layers on N-polar and Ga-polar GaN Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy

    Wurtzite GaN samples containing one, three and five 4nm thick high temperature (HT) AlN Interlayers (IL) have been grown on (0001) sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). N-polar...

    Critical thickness of high-temperature AIN interlayers in GaN on sapphire (0001)

    We analyze by cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy the threading dislocation behavior when crossing an AlN intermediate layer in the GaN/AlN/GaN/sapphire system grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Dis...
