Extreme-Band-Gap Semiconductors with Shallow Dopants and Mobile Carriers

Sieun Chae, Nocona Sanders, Kelsey A. Mengle +8

The conventional distinction between semiconductors and insulators is often based on the magnitude of the band gap, with materials exhibiting gaps wider than 3 eV typically classif…

Increasing the mobility and power-electronics figure of merit of AlGaN with atomically thin AlN/GaN digital-alloy superlattices

Nick Pant, Woncheol Lee, Nocona Sanders +1

Alloy scattering in random AlGaN alloys drastically reduces the electron mobility and therefore the power-electronics figure of merit. As a result, Al compositions greater than 75%…

Perspective: Towards the predictive discovery of ambipolarly dopable ultra-wide-band-gap semiconductors: the case of rutile GeO

S. Chae, K. A. Mengle, K. Bushick +8

Ultrawide-band-gap (UWBG) semiconductors are promising for fast, compact, and energy-efficient power-electronics devices. Their wider band gaps result in higher breakdown electric…

Phonon- and defect-limited electron and hole mobility of diamond and cubic boron nitride: a critical comparison

Nocona Sanders, Emmanouil Kioupakis

Diamond and cBN are two of the most promising ultra-wide-band-gap (UWBG) semiconductors for applications in high-power high-frequency electronic devices. Yet despite extensive stud…

Band structure and carrier effective masses of boron arsenide: effects of quasiparticle and spin-orbit coupling corrections

Kyle Bushick, Kelsey Mengle, Nocona Sanders +1

We determine the fundamental electronic and optical properties of the high-thermal-conductivity III-V semiconductor boron arsenide (BAs) using density functional and many body pert…
