Polarons in Wurtzite Nitride Semiconductors
نویسنده
چکیده
Polaron binding energy and effective mass are calculated for semiconductors with wurtzite crystalline structure from the first order electron-phonon corrections to the self-energy. A recently introduced Fröhlich-like electron-phonon interaction Hamiltonian which accounts for the LO and TO polarizations mixing due to the anisotropy is used in the calculation. The polaronic damping rates are evaluated for finite temperature. Numerical results are reported for GaN . It is shown that the electron-phonon coupling is strong enough to justify the necessity of the inclusion of second-order corrections.

Strain effects on the interface properties of nitride semiconductors
An ab initio study of nitride-based heteroepitaxial interfaces that uses norm-conserving pseudopotentials and explicitly treats the strain due to lattice mismatch is presented. Strain effects on the band offsets range from 20% to 40%. The AlN/GaN/InN interfaces ~with AlN in-plane lattice constant! are all of type I, while the Al 0.5Ga0.5N/AlN zinc-blende ~001! interface is of type II. Further, ...

متن کاملWurtzite-type CoO nanocrystals in ultrathin ZnCoO films.
Surface x-ray diffraction experiments reveal that, in cobalt-doped ZnO films two to five monolayers thick, Wurtzite-type CoO nanocrystals are coherently embedded within a hexagonal boron-nitride- (h-BN)-type ZnO matrix, supporting the model of a phase separation. First-principles calculations confirm that, in contrast with ZnO, the formation of h-BN-type CoO is unfavorable in the ultrathin film...
