Scandium diboride: a semi-metallic, lattice, thermally matched substrate for vertical AlGaN power electronics

MVS Chandrashekhar, Daniel Joel Harrison, Ahamed Raihan +22

We report the properties of hexagonal (space group P6/mmm) scandium diboride (${\mathrm{ScB}}_2$) single crystals grown by a laser diode floating zone method at growth rates of ~1mm/…
