Second-Order Optical Nonlinearity of AlScN Films Grown By Molecular Beam Epitaxy

Joongwon Lee, Thai-Son Nguyen, Len van Deurzen +8

Alloys of AlN have rapidly emerged as a material platform for nonlinear optics. In this paper, we measure the second-order optical nonlinearity of AlScN films grown directly on nit…

Leveraging both faces of polar semiconductor wafers for functional devices

Len van Deurzen, Eungkyun Kim, Naomi Pieczulewski +8

Unlike non-polar semiconductors such as silicon, the broken inversion symmetry of the wide bandgap semiconductor gallium nitride leads to a large electronic polarization along a un…

Growth kinetics and substrate stability during high-temperature molecular beam epitaxy of AlN nanowires

Philipp John, Mikel Gómez Ruiz, Len van Deurzen +5

We study the molecular beam epitaxy of AlN nanowires between 950 and 1215 °C, well above the usual growth temperatures, to identify optimal growth conditions. The nanowires are gro…

Excitonic and deep-level emission from N- and Al-polar homoepitaxial AlN grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Len van Deurzen, Jashan Singhal, Jimy Encomendero +8

Using low-temperature cathodoluminescence spectroscopy, we study the properties of N- and Al-polar AlN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on bulk AlN{0001}. Compared to the bul…

Molecular Beam Homoepitaxy of N-polar AlN on bulk AlN substrates

Jashan Singhal, Jimy Encomendero, Yongjin Cho +6

N-polar AlN epilayers were grown on the N-face of single crystal bulk AlN substrates by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). A combination of in situ thermal deoxidatio…

Decoherence by Optical Phonons in GaN Defect Single-Photon Emitters

Yifei Geng, Jialun Luo, Len van Deurzen +5

In most single-photon defect emitters, such as those in SiC and diamond, interaction with low-energy acoustic phonons determines the temperature dependence of the decoherence rate…
