Direct high-temperature growth of GaN on Si using trimethylaluminum preflow enabling vertically-conducting heterostructures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Alessandro Floriduz

In this work, we demonstrate that GaN can be directly grown at high temperature on Si(111) substrates by metalorganic CVD without using any intentional AlN buffer, by simply employing a trimethylaluminum (TMAl) preflow. We found that n-GaN layers directly ...

Influence of ionization and cumulative effects on laser-induced crystallization in multilayer dielectrics

Yves Bellouard, Ruben Ricca, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau

Crystallization of amorphous layers has been demonstrated under various radically different laser-exposure conditions, including continuous wave (cw) and pulsed lasers. Here, we investigate the specific role of ionization in the crystallization of dielectr ...

Supramolecular interactions using β-cyclodextrin in controlling perovskite solar cell performance

Jun Ho Yum, Kevin Sivula, Jiyoun Seo, Parnian Ferdowsi

In the context of perovskite solar cells (PSCs), enhancing device performance often involves adding a small excess of lead iodide (PbI2) to the precursor solution. However, the presence of unreacted PbI2 can lead to accelerated degradation compromising lon ...
