Abstract:One µm thick Gd 2 O 3 films were grown on GaN/AlGaN heterostructures by reactive electron beam physical vapor deposition. The films were of cubic bixbyite phase with strong (222) out-of-plane and in-plane texture. The films showed a columnar microstructure with feather-like growth. Transmission electron microscopy analysis and selected area diffraction showed highly oriented single crystal like growth near the film interface which degraded as the film thickness increased. Capacitance-voltage (C-V) characterist… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
