چکیده
In this work the electron mobility of AlN Wurtzite and AlN Zincblende semiconductor compounds were calculated using iterative method in range of 100-600 K. We compare polar optic phonon scattering, deformation-potential acoustic phonon scattering, piezoelectric scattering and impurity scattering mechanisms. Boltzmann transport equation was solved using iterative method. In addition, we took into account the mixing of wave functions and electron screening and we investigated temperature dependence of mobility of the given compound.

Excitonic properties of strained wurtzite and zinc-blende GaNÕAlxGa1ÀxN quantum dots
We investigate exciton states theoretically in strained GaN/AlN quantum dots with wurtzite ~WZ! and zinc-blende ~ZB! crystal structures, as well as strained WZ GaN/AlGaN quantum dots. We show that the strain field significantly modifies the conductionand valence-band edges of GaN quantum dots. The piezoelectric field is found to govern excitonic properties of WZ GaN/AlN quantum dots, while it h...
متن کاملAcceptor binding energies in GaN and AlN
We employ effective-mass theory for degenerate hole bands to calculate the acceptor binding energies for Be, Mg, Zn, Ca, C, and Si substitutional acceptors in GaN and AlN. The calculations are performed through the 636 Rashba-Sheka-Pikus and the Luttinger-Kohn matrix Hamiltonians for wurtzite ~WZ! and zinc-blende ~ZB! crystal phases, respectively. An analytic representation for the acceptor pse...

The quasiparticle band structures and fundamental energy gaps of the rock-salt (rs), zinc-blende (zb), and wurtzite (wz) polymorphs of CaO and AlN are calculated within the G0W0 approximation on top of a selfconsistent solution of the generalized Kohn–Sham equation with the hybrid functional HSE03. Based on these reliable electronic structures, the dielectric functions of rs-CaO, zb-AlN, and wz...
متن کاملElectronic and Optical Properties of AlN Nanosheet Under Uni-axial Strain
We have investigated the electronic and optical properties of AlN hexagonal nanosheets under different kinds of strains, using the band structure results obtained through the full potential linearized augmented plane wave method within the density functional theory. The results show that 10% uniaxial strain along the zig-zag direction induces an indirect to direct band-gap transition. Th...
متن کاملElectron–polar optical phonon scattering suppression and mobility enhancement in wurtzite heterostructures
We have shown theoretically that the electron mobility in wurtzite AlN/GaN/AlN heterostructures can be enhanced by compensating the built-in electric field with the externally applied perpendicular electric field and by introducing a shallow InxGa1-xN channel in the center of GaN potential well. It was found that twoto fivefold increase of the room temperature electron mobility can be achieved....
