We use photoreflectance (PR) spectroscopy to study the electronic band structure modification of GaN films grown along different nonpolar orientations due to biaxial, anisotropic in-plane strain. The exciton transition energies of an unstrained, high-quality C-plane GaN film are used to accurately determine the crystal-field and spin-orbit splitting energies. For films with a nonpolar orientation, the resonant features observed in the PR spectra exhibit a strong in-plane polarization anisotropy and different transition energies from the ones measured in the C-plane GaN film. The deformation potential D-5 is accurately determined from four GaN films with a nonpolar orientation using the measured energies together with the polarization properties and out-of-plane strain.

Polarization anisotropy in nonpolar oriented GaN films studied by polarized photoreflectance spectroscopy Behn, Udo; Misra, Pranob; Grahn, Holger T.; İmer, Muhsine Bilge; Nakamura, Shuji; DenBaars, Steven P.; Speck, James S. (Wiley, 2007-01-01) We have used polarized photoreflectance spectroscopy to study the electronic-band-structure modification of GaN films grown along different nonpolar orientations due to biaxial, anisotropic in-plane strain. For nonpolar oriented films, the c-axis of GaN lies in the film plane. An unstrained, high-quality C-plane GaN film is used to estimate the difference in the band gap energies between 10 K and room temperature. We use the crystal-field and spin-orbit splitting energies and the deformation potential D, de...
Zinc oxide nanowire networks for macroelectronic devices Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Hiralal, Pritesh; Dalal, Sharvari; Chu, Daping; Eda, Goki; Teo, K. B. K.; Chhowalla, Manish; Milne, William I.; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J. (AIP Publishing, 2009-04-20) Highly transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowire networks have been used as the active material in thin film transistors (TFTs) and complementary inverter devices. A systematic study on a range of networks of variable density and TFT channel length was performed. ZnO nanowire networks provide a less lithographically intense alternative to individual nanowire devices, are always semiconducting, and yield significantly higher mobilites than those achieved from currently used amorphous Si and organic TFTs. These r...
ELECTROMAGNETIC FORM-FACTOR OF D-ASTERISK-]D TRANSITION IN THE TIME-LIKE REGION Alıyev, Tahmasıb; PAK, NK; REKALO, MP (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1994-12-01) The internal conversion process D* --> De(+) e(-), and D*($) over bar D-pair production in e(+) e(-) -collisions, e(+) e(-) --> D*($) over bar D, which are described by the same electromagnetic form factor with time-like momentum transfer, have been analyzed. After carrying out a general analysis of the kinematical aspects of the one-photon mechanism has been performed and the predictions of the vector-dominance model for the D* --> D transition form factor are discussed. It is shown that use of the asympto...
Field emission from graphene based composite thin films Eda, Goki; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Rupesinghe, Nalin; Amaratunga, Gehan A. J.; Chhowalla, Manish (AIP Publishing, 2008-12-08) Field emission from graphene is challenging because the existing deposition methods lead to sheets that lay flat on the substrate surface, which limits the field enhancement. Here we describe a simple and general solution based method for the deposition of field emitting graphene/polymer composite thin films. The graphene sheets are oriented at some angles with respect to the substrate surface leading to field emission at low threshold fields (similar to 4 V mu m(-1)). Our method provides a route for the de...
Terahertz imaging using an interferometric array Federici, JF; Gary, D; Schulkin, B; Huang, F; Altan, Hakan; Barat, R; Zimdars, D (AIP Publishing, 2003-09-22) Most methods of imaging in the terahertz (THz) spectral region utilize either pulsed-laser sources or require the THz generation and detection sources to be phase coherent. The application of interferometric imaging to the THz range is described. Interferometric imaging offers considerable advantages in this regard due to its ability to image with only a handful of detector elements, image many sources of THz radiation at once, image incoherent as well as coherent sources, and provide spectral information a...
