  • A spectroscopic study utilizing polarization-resolved microphotoluminescence and electron microscopy has successfully identified different modes, like whispering gallery and transverse Fabry-Perot modes, and characterized their spectral properties.
  • The ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of strain-free GaN in the visible-UV range were determined through numerical simulations based on these observed modes.

Article Abstract

GaN microwires grown by metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy and with radii typically on the order of 1-5 micrometers exhibit a number of resonances in their photoluminescence spectra. These resonances include whispering gallery modes and transverse Fabry-Perot modes. A detailed spectroscopic study by polarization-resolved microphotoluminescence, in combination with electron microscopy images, has enabled to differentiate both kinds of modes and determined their main spectral properties. Finally, the dispersion of the ordinary and extraordinary refractive indices of strain-free GaN in the visible-UV range has been obtained thanks to the numerical simulation of the observed modes.

Nanostructured ultraviolet (UV) light sources represent a growing research field in view of their potential applications in wearable optoelectronics or medical treatment devices. In this work, we report the demonstration of the first flexible UV-A light emitting diode (LED) based on AlGaN/GaN core-shell microwires. The device is based on a composite microwire/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) membrane with flexible transparent electrodes.

We demonstrate the use of both pixelated differential phase contrast (DPC) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and off-axis electron holography (EH) for the measurement of electric fields and assess the advantages and limitations of each technique when applied to technologically relevant samples. Three different types of samples are examined, firstly a simple highly-doped Si pn junction. Then a SiGe superlattice is examined to evaluate the effects of the mean inner potential on the measured signal.

SnO has been extensively applied in the fields of optoelectronic devices because of its large band gap, high exciton binding energy, and outstanding optical/electrical properties. However, its applications in ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are still hindered by the dipole-forbidden rule. Herein, the dipole-forbidden rule can be conquered by synthesizing Sb-incorporated SnO microwires (SnO:Sb MWs), which are examined by ultraviolet photoluminescence emitting at 363.

We have demonstrated piezo-phototronic enhanced modulation in green InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with a microwire array (MWA) structure. It is found that an a-axis oriented MWA structure induces more c-axis compressive strain than a flat structure when a convex bending strain is applied. Moreover, the photoluminescence (PL) intensity exhibits a tendency to increase first and then decrease under the enhanced compressive strain.

To overcome the problem of minority carrier storage time in bipolar transistors, a hot electron transistor (HET) has been proposed. This device has the advantage of high working speed and some complex logic functions can be completed by using one component. Here, we demonstrate a mixed-dimensional HET composed of GaN/AlN microwires, graphene (Gr), and Si.
