We carefully investigate three important effects including postgrowth activation annealing, delta ({delta}) dose and p+-GaN layer thickness and experimentally demonstrate their influence on the electrical properties of GaN p-n homojunction diodes with a tunnel junction (TJ)-based p-contact. The p-n diodes and TJ structures were monolithically grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) in a single growth step. By optimizing the annealing time and temperature for magnesium (Mg) activation and introducing {delta}-doses for both donors and acceptors at TJ interfaces, a significant improvement in electrical properties is achieved. For the continuously-grown, all-MOCVD GaN homojunction TJs, ultra-low forward voltage penalties of 158 mV and 490 mV are obtained at current densities of 20 A/cm2 and 100 A/cm2, respectively. The p-n diode with an engineered TJ shows a record-low normalized differential resistance of 1.6 x 10-4 {Omega}-cm2 at 5 kA/cm2.

The magnetic tunnel junction is a cornerstone of spintronic devices and circuits, providing the main way to convert between magnetic and electrical information. In state-of-the-art magnetic tunnel junctions, magnesium oxide is used as the tunnel barr
ier between magnetic electrodes, providing a uniquely large tunnel magnetoresistance at room temperature. However, the wide bandgap and band alignment of magnesium oxide-iron systems increases the resistance-area product and causes challenges of device-to-device variability and tunnel barrier degradation under high current. Here, we study using first principles narrower-bandgap scandium nitride tunneling properties and transport in magnetic tunnel junctions in comparison to magnesium oxide. These simulations demonstrate a high tunnel magnetoresistance in Fe/ScN/Fe MTJs via {Delta}_1 and {Delta}_2 symmetry filtering with low wavefunction decay rates, allowing a low resistance-area product. The results show that scandium nitride could be a new tunnel barrier material for magnetic tunnel junction devices to overcome variability and current-injection challenges.
Ultra violet light emitting diodes (UV LEDs) face critical limitations in both the injection efficiency and light extraction efficiency due to the resistive and absorbing p-type contact layers. In this work, we investigate the design and application
of polarization engineered tunnel junctions for ultra-wide bandgap AlGaN (Al mole fraction higher than 50%) materials towards highly efficient UV LEDs. We demonstrate that polarization-induced 3D charge is beneficial in reducing tunneling barriers especially for high composition AlGaN tunnel junctions. The design of graded tunnel junction structures could lead to low tunneling resistance below 10-3 Ohm cm2 and low voltage consumption below 1 V (at 1 kA/cm2) for high composition AlGaN tunnel junctions. Experimental demonstration of 292 nm emission was achieved through non-equilibrium hole injection into wide bandgap materials with bandgap energy larger than 4.7 eV, and detailed modeling of tunnel junctions shows that they can be engineered to have low resistance, and can enable efficient emitters in the UV-C wavelength range.
We study static and dynamic magnetic properties of Co2MnGe (13 nm)/Al2O3 (3 nm)/Co (13 nm) tunnel magnetic junctions (TMJ), deposited on various single crystalline substrates (a-plane sapphire, MgO(100), Si(111)). The results are compared to the magn
etic properties of Co and of Co$_{2}$MnGe single films lying on sapphire substrates. X-rays diffraction always shows a (110) orientation of the Co$_{2}$MnGe films. Structural observations obtained by high resolution transmission electron microscopy confirmed the high quality of the TMJ grown on sapphire. Our vibrating sample magnetometry measurements reveal in-plane anisotropy only in samples grown on a sapphire substrate. Depending on the substrate, the ferromagnetic resonance spectra of the TMJs, studied by the microstrip technique, show one or two pseudo-uniform modes. In the case of MgO and of Si substrates only one mode is observed: it is described by magnetic parameters (g-factor, effective magnetization, in-plane magnetic anisotropy) derived in the frame of a simple expression of the magnetic energy density; these parameters are practically identical to those obtained for the Co single film. With a sapphire substrate two modes are present: one of them does not appreciably differ from the observed mode in the Co single film while the other one is similar to the mode appearing in the Co$_{2}$MnGe single film: their magnetic parameters can thus be determined independently, using a classical model for the energy density in the absence of interlayer exchange coupling.
Impurity levels and formation energies of acceptors in wurtzite GaN are predicted ab initio. Be_Ga is found to be the shallow (thermal ionization energy $sim$ 0.06 eV); $Mg_{Ga}$ and $Zn_{Ga}$ are mid-deep acceptors (0.23 eV and 0.33 eV respectively)
; $Ca_{Ga}$ and $Cd_{Ga}$ are deep acceptors ($sim$0.65 eV); $Si_N$ is a midgap trap with high formation energy; finally, contrary to recent claims, $C_N$ is a deep acceptor (0.65 eV). Interstitials and heteroantisites are energetically not competitive with substitutional incorporation.
Radiofrequency vortex spin-transfer oscillators based on magnetic tunnel junctions with very low resistance area product were investigated. A high power of excitations has been obtained characterized by a power spectral density containing a very shar
p peak at the fundamental frequency and a series of harmonics. The observed behaviour is ascribed to the combined effect of spin transfer torque and Oersted-Amp`ere field generated by the large applied dc-current. We furthermore show that the synchronization of a vortex oscillation by applying a ac bias current is mostly efficient when the external frequency is twice the oscillator fundamental frequency. This result is interpreted in terms of a parametric oscillator.
