We study the electronic properties of GaAs nanowires composed of both the zincblende and wurtzite modifications using a ten-band k.p model. In the wurtzite phase, two energetically close conduction bands are of importance for the…
We report a new biphasic crystalline wurtzite/zinc-blende homostructure in gallium nitride nanowires. Cathodoluminescence was used to quantitatively measure the wurtzite and zinc-blende band gaps. High resolution transmission electron…
The Schottky diode, BN/GaN layered composite contacting to bulk aluminum, is theoretically plausible to harvest wireless energy above X-band. According to our first principle calculation, the insertion of GaN layers dramatically influences…
Recent advances in nanowire synthesis have enabled the realization of crystal phases that in bulk are attainable only under extreme conditions, i.e. high temperature and/or high pressure. For group IV semiconductors this means access to…
Ultra-wide-band-gap group-III nitrides are of interest for applications in deep-ultraviolet optoelectronics and power electronics. Such devices must be able to efficiently dissipate heat generated from their operation, making the thermal…
