Abstract:Beryllium oxide (BeO) is a wurtzite structured, large bandgap (E
g > 8 eV) material of significant interest as an alloying agent and cladding dielectric in various wide band gap oxide based optoelectronic devices. The success of such devices is highly reliant on bandgap and band alignment engineering to achieve sufficient charge carrier and optical confinement for device operation. In this regard, we have utilized x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) to determine the valence band offset … 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.
