Plastic Relaxation without Dislocations in -GaO Heteroepitaxy: A Structural Peculiarity of GaO Polymorphs
I. Bertoni, A. Marzegalli, A. Ugolotti +3
-GaO grows as three-dimensional islands on mismatched c-plane sapphire, often on a thin -GaO wetting layer, and eventually forms a continuous film by island c…

Interface energies of Ga2O3 phases with the sapphire substrate and the phase-locked epitaxy of metastable structures explained
Ilaria Bertoni, Aldo Ugolotti, Emilio Scalise +2
Despite the extensive work carried out on the epitaxial growth of Ga2O3, a fundamental understanding of the nucleation of its different metastable phases is still lacking. Here we…
