The formation of dislocations in conventional thin film devices due to lattice mismatch strain restricts the choice of substrate and heterointerface. Nanowires can accommodate large strains due to their surface to volume ratio that permits large lattice mismatched heterostructures without dislocat…

Unlike traditional light bulbs, Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) use less power, last longer, and contain no environmentally harmful substances. However, LEDs struggle with technical errors, such as lattice mismatch and large resistances. As adoption increases, it is necessary to develop LEDs that are…

Ultraviolet light emitting diodes (LEDs) which utilize rare earth phosphors in wide to medium gap semiconductors have been developed over the past two decades with increasing use of wide gap materials such as Gallium Nitrite (GaN) and Aluminum Nitride (AlN) in thin film electroluminescent devices.…
