Diffusion, Uptake and Release of Hydrogen in p-type Gallium Nitride: Theory and Experiment

Myers, S.M.; Wright, Alan F.; Peterscn, G.A.; Wampler, William R.; Seager, Carleton H.; Crawford, Mary H.; Han, J.

The diffusion, uptake, and release of H in p-type GaN are modeled employing state energies from density-function theory and compared with measurements of deuterium uptake and release using nuclear-reaction analysis. Good semiquantitative agreement is found when account is taken of a surface permeation barrier.
