Germanium nanowires with p- and n-dopants were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition and used to construct complementary field effect transistors . Electrical transport and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy data are correlated to glean…
Next-generation high-power radio-frequency (RF) devices increasingly demand transistors that operate efficiently with high gain at high frequencies. High-aluminum-content ultra-wide-bandgap (UWBG) AlGaN alloys have shown great potential for…
Miniaturization of electronic devices aims at manufacturing ever smaller products, from mesoscopic to nanoscopic sizes. This trend is challenging because the increased levels of dissipated power demands a better understanding of heat…
Nanomechanical resonators with high quality factors (\Qm{}) enable mechanics-based quantum technologies, in particular quantum sensing and quantum transduction. High-\Qm{} nanomechanical resonators in the kHz to MHz frequency range can be…
In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, niobium nitride (NbN) superconductors have emerged as integral components due to their unique structural properties, including a high superconducting transition temperature (Tc),…
We study the molecular beam epitaxy of AlN nanowires between 950 and 1215 {\deg}C, well above the usual growth temperatures, to identify optimal growth conditions. The nanowires are grown by self-assembly on TiN(111) films sputtered onto…
We investigate the influence of modified growth conditions during the spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires on Si(111) in plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. We find that a two-step growth approach, where the substrate temperature is…
Cracking of thick GaN films on sapphire substrates during the cooling down after the growth was studied. The cracking was suppressed by increasing the film-to-substrate thickness ratio and by using an intermediate carbon buffer layer, that…
Compositionally graded interfaces in power electronic devices eliminate dislocations, but they can also decrease thermal conduction, leading to overheating. We quantify the thermal resistances of GaN/AlN graded interfaces of varying…
Most III-nitride semiconductors are grown on non-lattice-matched substrates like sapphire or silicon due to the extreme difficulty of obtaining a native GaN substrate. We show that several layered transition-metal dichalcogenides are…
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an essential tool in semiconductor device fabrication that allows the growth of ultrathin and conformal films to precisely form heterostructures and tune interface properties. The self-limiting nature of the…
