Final LDRD report : the physics of 1D and 2D electron gases in III-nitride heterostructure NWs

Wang, George T.; Armstrong, Andrew A.; Li, Qiming L.; Lin, Yong L.

The proposed work seeks to demonstrate and understand new phenomena in novel, freestanding III-nitride core-shell nanowires, including 1D and 2D electron gas formation and properties, and to investigate the role of surfaces and heterointerfaces on the transport and optical properties of nanowires, using a combined experimental and theoretical approach. Obtaining an understanding of these phenomena will be a critical step that will allow development of novel, ultrafast and ultraefficient nanowire-based electronic and photonic devices.
