Simultaneous Selective Area Growth of Wurtzite and Zincblende Self-Catalyzed GaAs Nanowires on Silicon

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Wonjong Kim, Lucas Güniat, Valerio Piazza

Selective area epitaxy constitutes a mainstream method to obtain reproducible nanomaterials. As a counterpart, self-assembly allows their growth without costly substrate preparation, with the drawback of uncontrolled positioning. We propose a mixed approac ...

Coordination between cell growth, division and chromosome replication cycles in mycobacteria

Gaëlle Madeleine Vuaridel

Propagation of microorganisms is based on three fundamental processes: cell growth, DNA replication, and cell division. Although important for antibacterial drug development, these processes are poorly understood in Actinobacteria, a medically important ph ...

Transferable machine-learning models of complex materials: the case of GaAs

Giulio Imbalzano

Molecular simulations allow to investigate the behaviour of materials at the atomistic level, shedding light on phenomena that cannot be directly observed in experiments. Accurate results can be obtained with ab initio methods, while simulations of large-s ...

Effects of quantum-well indium content on deep defects and reliability of InGaN/GaN light-emitting diodes with under layer

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Camille Haller

We investigate the density of defects and the degradation rate in InGaN light-emitting diodes having identical dislocation density and epitaxial structure, but different indium content in the quantum well (QW; 12%, 16%, 20%). Our results, based on combined ...
