Recently, GaN, which has remarkable properties as a material for optical devices and high power electron devices, has also attracted attention as a material for radiation detectors. We previously suggested the use of BGaN as a neutron detector material. However, the radiation detection characteristics of GaN itself are not yet adequately understood. For realizing a BGaN neutron detector, the understanding of the radiation detection characteristics of GaN, which is a base material of the neutron detector, is important. In this study, we evaluated the radiation detection characteristics of GaN. We performed I V and energy spectrum measurements under alpha ray, gamma ray, and thermal neutron irradiations to characterize the radiation detection characteristics of a GaN diode. The obtained results indicate that GaN is an effective material for our proposed new BGaN-based neutron detector.

Nanoscale Research Letters Vol. 11 2016.4

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

We report the selective-area growth of a gallium nitride (GaN)-nanorod-based InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) core-shell structure embedded in a three-dimensional (3D) light-emitting diode (LED) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and its optical analysis. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) observation revealed the high quality of the GaN nanorods and the position dependence of the structural properties of the InGaN/GaN MQWs on multiple facets. The excitation and temperature dependences of photoluminescence (PL) revealed the m-plane emission behaviors of the InGaN/GaN core-shell nanorods. The electroluminescence (EL) of the InGaN/GaN core-shell-nanorod-embedded 3D LED changed color from green to blue with increasing injection current. This phenomenon was mainly due to the energy gradient and deep localization of the indium in the selectively grown InGaN/GaN core-shell MQWs on the 3D architecture.

Structural and optical study of core–shell InGaN layers of nanorod arrays with multiple stacks of InGaN/GaN superlattices for absorption of longer solar spectrum Reviewed

Vol. 55 ( 5S ) page： 05FG03/1-8 2016.4

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

We report on the material and optical properties of core–shell InGaN layers grown on GaN nanorod arrays. The core–shell InGaN layers were well grown on polarization-reduced surfaces such as semipolar pyramids and nonpolar sidewalls. In addition, to compensate the biaxial strain between GaN and InGaN layers, we grew interlayers underneath a thick InGaN layer. Here, the interlayers were composed of multiple superlattice structures. We could observe that the indium composition of core–shell InGaN structures increased with the number of interlayers. This indicates that the absorption energy band of InGaN alloys can be better matched to the spectral irradiance of the solar spectrum in nature. We also implemented a simulation of Ga-polar and nonpolar InGaN-based solar cells based on the indium composition obtained from the experiments. The result showed that nonpolar InGaN solar cells had a much higher efficiency than Ga-polar InGaN solar cells with the same thickness of the absorption layer.

Study of enhanced photovoltaic behavior in InGaN-based solar cells by using SiNx insertion layer: Influence of dislocations Reviewed

Japanese Journal of Applied Physics Rapid Communications Vol. 55 ( 3 ) page： 030306/1-4 2016.2

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Using a SiN insertion layer to reduce dislocations, enhanced photovoltaic properties could be obtained in pin InGaN GaN heterojunction solar cell. To investigate the influence of the dislocations on the photovoltaic behaviors, a sample grown without SiN insertion layer was identically prepared for comparison. From optical properties measurements, the reduction in the number of non-radiative centers and a stronger In localization effect was shown in the sample with SiN insertion layer. However, the quantum confined stark effect was almost negligible in both the samples.

. Unlike the thick and high (or middle)-quality GaN templates normally used, nanorod growth was performed on an ultrathin and low-quality AlN/Si platform. Using kinetically controlled growth conditions and a patterning process, exceptionally long GaN nanorods were achieved with high geometric precision.

Previously, we reported a growth method by MOVPE using a single two-dimensional growth step, resulting in 1.2-micron thick crack-free GaN directly grown on 6H-SiC substrate. The introduction of Al-treatment prior to the standard GaN growth step resulted in improved surface wetting of gallium on the SiC substrate.

Language：English Publishing type：Research paper (scientific journal)

Dynamic properties are studied for the AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures with and without the coating of colloidal ZnO nanocrystals (NCs). The QW exciton recombination rate was reduced in such hybrids compared to the bare QW structure only in the sample with the thinnest cap layer of 3 nm. Assuming that one of the recombination mechanisms in this hybrid is non-radiative resonant energy transfer (NRET) between the QW and the energy acceptor material i.e. ZnO NCs, the maximum pumping efficiency was estimated to be 0.42 at 60 K. The NRET effect is, however, vanished after several months despite that the hybrid structures are composed of chemically stable components.
