Study of Fast Neutron Irradiation Effects on GaN using Depth- resolved Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy
نویسنده
چکیده
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a radiation hard material that has unexplored potentials to be used as a neutron detector in harsh radiation environment. In this study, we will investigate the effects of radiation on semi-insulating (SI) and undoped GaN using depth-resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy (DRCLS) to measure the lattice defects due to neutron irradiation. The relationship between two main defects, termed “yellow line” (YL) and “blue line” (BL) band will be investigated with different annealing temperature to determine the evolution of the irradiation-induced defects in GaN. In addition to the specified goals to be achieved in this project, the research also aims to obtain preliminary data that could enhance proposals to meet high priority goals of several federal agencies.

متن کاملEffects of low energy e-beam irradiation on cathodoluminescence from GaN
We present cathodoluminescence (CL) studies on low energy e-beam irradiated (LEEBI) metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) grown GaN films. High intensity LEEBI has been reported to reduce the band-edge photoluminescence intensity of MOVPE grown GaN films. Here we observe similar reduction of band-edge CL intensity with increasing LEEBI dose. The irradiation damage is found to be concentrate...

Spatio-time-resolved cathodoluminescence (STRCL) spectroscopy is implemented to assess the local carrier dynamics in a 70-nm-thick, very low threading dislocation (TD) density, pseudomorphic m-plane In0:05Ga0:95N epilayer grown on a freestanding GaN substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. Although TDs or stacking faults are absent, sub-micrometer-wide zonary patterns parallel to the c-ax...

Irradiation effects on the wide-bandgap semiconductor material GaN are of interest to the USAF due to this material’s applicability for a wide range of on-orbit uses. Irradiation is also a valuable tool in analyzing the damage and defect formation dynamics of the material which is of great use in determining and correcting deficiencies in material growth processes. GaN samples representing seve...
