Hydrogen at GaN(0001) surface control of Fermi level pinning: Mg activation of p-type conductivity -- Nakamura process deciphered
Konrad Sakowski, Pawel Strak, Pawel Kempisty +2
Ab initio calculations were used to disentangle the mystery of Nakamura activation of p-type in Mg doped MOVPE grown gallium nitride, the key process leading to the 2014 Nobel Priz…

Role of quasi-Fermi levels in Si- and Mg-related optical absorption in nitride laser diodes (LDs): material context
Konrad Sakowski, Cyprian Sobczak, Pawel Strak +5
Optical absorption and reabsorption of light emitted from active regions in nitride laser diodes (LDs) have been shown to reduce the light extraction efficiency of these devices. I…

Polarization spontaneous and piezo: fundamentals and their implementation in ab initio calculations
Pawel Strak, Pawel Kempisty, Konrad Sakowski +5
Fundamental properties of spontaneous and piezo polarization are reformulated and critically reviewed. It was demonstrated that Landau definition of polarization as a dipole densit…
