Gigaxonin mutations cause the fatal human neurodegenerative disorder giant axonal neuropathy (GAN). Broad deterioration of the nervous system in GAN patients is accompanied by massive disorganization of intermediate filaments (IFs) both in neurons and many non-neuronal cells. With newly developed antibodies, gigaxonin is now shown to be expressed at extremely low levels throughout the nervous s...

For the limitation of experimental methods in crystal characterization, in this study, the mechanical, thermodynamic and electronic properties of wurtzite and zinc-blende GaN crystals were investigated by first-principles calculations based on density functional theory. Firstly, bulk moduli, shear moduli, elastic moduli and Poisson's ratios of the two GaN polycrystals were calculated using Voig...

In this work we have designed a Mach Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for electro optic modulator at telecommunication wavelength using GaN on Sapphire. The knowledge of GaN sample optical properties were also investigated, resulting refractive index for the GaN layers were found to be nTE=2.279±0.001 and nTM = 2.316±0.001 and good temperatur stability. Optimization of the structure parameters and ...

The crystal quality and light output power of GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on concave patterned sapphire substrate (CPSS) were investigated. It was found that the crystal quality of GaN-based LEDs grown on CPSS improved with the decrease of the pattern space (percentage of c-plane). However, when the pattern space decreased to 0.41 μm (S0.41-GaN), the GaN crystallinity dropped. ...

We investigated the influence of the thickness of the AlN interlayer for InAlN/GaN and InAlN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. The AlN thickness strongly affects the surface morphology and electron mobility of the InAlN/GaN structures. The rms roughness of the surface increases from 0.35 to 1.2 nm with increasing AlN thickness from 0 to 1.5 nm. Large pits are generated when the AlN is thicker than 1 ...

In this paper, we present a novel Loss-Sensitive GAN (LS-GAN) that learns a loss function to separate generated samplesfrom their real examples. An important property of the LS-GAN is it allows the generator to focus on improving poor data points that are far apart from real examples rather than wasting efforts on those samples that have already been well generated, and thus can improve...

This study examined the effect of electronbeam (E-beam) irradiation on the electrical properties of n-GaN, AlGaN and AlGN/GaN structures on sapphire substrates. E-beam irradiation resulted in a significant decrease in the gate leakage current of the n-GaN, AlGaN and HEMT structure from 4.0×10 -4 A, 6.5×10 -5 A, 2.7×10 -8 A to 7.7×10 -5 A, 7.7×10 -6 A, 4.7×10 -9 A, respectively, at a drain volta...
