    Spectral response and I-V characteristics of large well number multi quantum well solar cells

    The inclusion of quantum wells in p-i-n solar cells leads to both an increase in photocurrent and a reduction in open circuit voltage. It has been shown that up to 50 shallow strain-balanced GaAsP/InGaAs quant...

    The nucleation structure for cracks in AlGaN epitaxial layers

    When an epitaxial layer is under tensile strain due to lattice mismatch, cracks are expected to form above a critical thickness. In the case of Group III nitrides grown on the sapphire (0001) plane, the epitax...

    Resonant Tunnelling via the Bound States of Shallow Donors

    We have performed a systematic study of GaAs/(AlGa)As resonant tunnelling diodes in which the quantum well is intentionally δ-doped with Si donors. By comparing the I(V) of such devices with control samples we...
