We investigate, both theoretically and experimentally, the drift, diffusion, and recombination of excitons in the strain field of an edge threading dislocation intersecting the GaN{0001} surface. We calculate and measure hyperspectral…
We investigate the impact of threading dislocations with an edge component (a or a+c-type) on carrier recombination and diffusion in GaN(0001) layers close to the surface as well as in the bulk. To this end, we utilize cathodoluminescence…
We demonstrate a nondestructive, high-throughput method for observing dislocations in GaN (0001) using phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). The PCM images (359x300 $\mu$m$^2$) analyzed in this study were acquired with an exposure time of 3 ms…
The strain field of a dislocation emerging at a free surface is partially relaxed to ensure stress free boundary conditions. We show that this relaxation strain at the outcrop of edge threading dislocations in GaN{0001} gives rise to a…
The efficacy of strained layer threading dislocation filter structures in single crystal epitaxial layers is evaluated using numerical modeling for (001) face-centred cubic materials, such as GaAs or Si(1-x)Ge(x), and (0001) hexagonal…
As fundamental one-dimensional defects, screw dislocations profoundly reshape the energy landscape and carrier dynamics of crystalline materials. By restoring the exact algebra of the screw dislocation group, we unveil the latent symmetry…
We analyze the lineshape of x-ray diffraction profiles of GaN epitaxial layers with large densities of randomly distributed threading dislocations. The peaks are Gaussian only in the central, most intense part of the peak, while the tails…
Dislocations in a thick ammonothermal GaN substrate were investigated using synchrotron-radiation X-ray topography (SR-XRT) under six-beam diffraction conditions. The high brilliance of the synchrotron source enabled the observation of the…
Correlations between dislocations in crystals reduce the elastic energy via screening of the strain by the surrounding dislocations. We study the correlations of threading dislocations in GaN epitaxial films with dislocation densities of…
Burgers vectors (b) of threading dislocations (TDs) in an acidic ammonothermal-grown GaN substrate were investigated using synchrotron radiation x-ray topography (SR-XRT) by combining both reflection and transmission modes. Reflection XRT…
Competitive mechanisms contribute to image contrast from dislocations in annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy ADF STEM. A clear theoretical understanding of the mechanisms underlying the ADF STEM contrast is…
Crystalline defects are generally regarded as static phonon scatterers that irreversibly suppress thermal transport. Here we show that elastic strain can dynamically and reversibly reorganize dislocation ensembles and strongly modify heat…
We investigate the transport of dipolar indirect excitons along the growth plane of polar (Al,Ga)N/GaN quantum well structures by means of spatially- and time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. The transport in these strongly…
We present a novel experimental protocol using Cathodoluminescence measurements as a function of the electron incident energy to study both exciton diffusion in a directional way and surface exciton recombination. Our approach overcomes the…
This study presents a nondestructive, high-resolution method for three-dimensional imaging of threading dislocations in beta-$Ga_{2}O_{3}$ (010) using phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). A one-to-one correspondence between dislocation…
Individual dislocations in an ultra-pure GaAs epilayer are investigated with spatially and spectrally resolved photoluminescence imaging at 5~K. We find that some dislocations act as strong non-radiative recombination centers, while others…
Recent experiments suggest that Mg condensation at threading dislocations induce current leakage, leading to degradation of GaN-based power devices. To study this issue, we perform first-principles total-energy electronic-structure…
We perform correlated studies of individual GaN nanowires in scanning electron microscopy combined to low temperature cathodoluminescence, microphotoluminescence, and scanning transmission electron microscopy. We show that some nanowires…
A two-dimensional (2D) dislocation continuum theory is being introduced. The present theory adds elastic rotation, dislocation density, and background stress to the classical energy density of elasticity. This theory contains four material…
Dislocation in (011)-oriented $\beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ substrates grown by the vertical Bridgman method was investigated using X-ray topography (XRT), combined with X-ray reticulography. Transmission XRT reveals dislocations lying on the (001)…
