Dipole scattering in polarization induced III–V nitride two-dimensional electron gases

چکیده
Unusually large spontaneous and piezoelectric fields in the III–V nitrides have led to the making of an entirely new class of two-dimensional electron gas. Fluctuation from a perfectly periodic binary structure in highly polar semiconductor alloys present the same physical situation as a random distribution of microscopic dipoles. The excess dipole distribution in the barrier layers is evaluated by a method similar to the virtual crystal approximation. It is shown that the mobility of electrons in the two-dimensional electron gas formed in highly polar heterostructures is intrinsically limited by scattering from such dipoles. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. #S0021-8979!00"02121-6$

Polarization induced electron populations in III-V nitride semiconductors Transport, growth, and device applications by Debdeep Jena The III-V nitride semiconductors (GaN, AlN, InN) exhibit unusually large electronic polarization fields. These polarization fields can be engineered to achieve carrier confinement, doping, and band engineering in novel ways. This work presents work in engineering ...
متن کاملElectron Transport in III-V Nitride Two-Dimensional Electron Gases
We present a study of electron scattering processes in AlGaN/GaN two-dimensional electron gases. A theoretical study of the effect of deformation potential scattering from strain fields surrounding dislocations is presented. The most important scattering mechanisms limiting electron transport are identified. We find that for AlGaN/GaN 2DEGs, mobility is limited by alloy scattering at high 2DEG ...
متن کاملCreation of high mobility two-dimensional electron gases via strain induced polarization at an otherwise nonpolar complex oxide interface.
The discovery of two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) in SrTiO3-based heterostructures provides new opportunities for nanoelectronics. Herein, we create a new type of oxide 2DEG by the epitaxial-strain-induced polarization at an otherwise nonpolar perovskite-type interface of CaZrO3/SrTiO3. Remarkably, this heterointerface is atomically sharp and exhibits a high electron mobility exceeding 60...
متن کاملDipole scattering in highly polar semiconductor alloys
The wide gap polar semiconductors III-V nitrides, II-VI oxides, and ferroelectrics exhibit large spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization due to their nonsymmetric crystal structures. Electrical conductivity in alloys of such crystals is degraded by scattering from the varying polarization coupled to alloy disorder. We have modeled this effect by dipole scattering. We have calculated dipole s...
