Spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization effects in III–V nitride heterostructures
The role of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in III–V nitride heterostructures is investigated. Polarization effects and crystal polarity are reviewed in the context of nitride heterostructure materials and device design, and a detailed analysis of their influence in nitride heterostructure field-effect transistors is presented. The combined effects of spontaneous and piezoelectric po...
متن کاملEquilibrium Analysis of Lattice-Mismatched Nanowire Heterostructures
The quality of lattice-mismatched semiconductor heterojunctions is often limited by the presence of misfit dislocations. Nanowire geometries offer the promise of creating highly mismatched, yet dislocation free heterojunctions. A simple model, based upon the critical thickness model of Matthews and Blakeslee for misfit dislocation formation in planar heterostructures, illustrates that there exi...
متن کاملMetal piezoelectric semiconductor field effect transistors for piezoelectric strain sensors
In this letter, we examine the potential of a functional device that can have good transistor and stress sensor properties. The device examined is based on the use of a thin oxide with high piezoelectric coefficients under the gate region. Channel charge and current are controlled by gate voltage or by stress. We examine the performance of two classes of heterostructures that are important semi...
متن کاملSpontaneous bending of piezoelectric nanoribbons: Mechanics, polarization, and space charge coupling
A theory is developed to explain the spontaneous bending of polar 7 ð0001Þ faceted wurtzite nanoribbons, including the widely studied case of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoarcs and nanorings. A rigorous thermodynamic treatment shows that bending of these nanoribbons can be primarily attributed to the coupling between piezoelectric effects, electric polarization, and the motion of free charge originating...
متن کاملDynamic nuclear polarization by electrical spin injection in ferromagnet-semiconductor heterostructures.
Electrical spin injection from Fe into AlxGa1-xAs quantum well heterostructures is demonstrated in small (<500 Oe) in-plane magnetic fields. The measurement is sensitive only to the component of the spin that precesses about the internal magnetic field in the semiconductor. This field is much larger than the applied field and depends strongly on the injection current density. Details of the obs...
