We characterize nanostructures of Bi2Se3 that are grown via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using the precursors diethyl selenium and trimethyl bismuth. By adjusting growth parameters, we obtain either single-crystalline ribbons up to 10 microns long or thin micron-sized platelets. Four-terminal resistance measurements yield a sample resistivity of 4 mOhm-cm. We observe weak anti-localization and extract a phase coherence length l_phi = 178 nm and spin-orbit length l_so = 93 nm at T = 0.29 K. Our results are consistent with previous measurements on exfoliated samples and samples grown via physical vapor deposition.

We report high room-temperature mobility in single layer graphene grown by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) after wet transfer on SiO$_2$ and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) encapsulation. By removing contaminations trapped at the interfaces between sin gle-crystal graphene and hBN, we achieve mobilities up to$sim70000cm^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$ at room temperature and$sim120000cm^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$ at 9K. These are over twice those of previous wet transferred graphene and comparable to samples prepared by dry transfer. We also investigate the combined approach of thermal annealing and encapsulation in polycrystalline graphene, achieving room temperature mobilities$sim30000 cm^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$. These results show that, with appropriate encapsulation and cleaning, room temperature mobilities well above $10000cm^2 V^{-1} s^{-1}$ can be obtained in samples grown by CVD and transferred using a conventional, easily scalable PMMA-based wet approach.
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) allows growing transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) over large surface areas on inexpensive substrates. In this work, we correlate the structural quality of CVD grown MoS$_2$ monolayers (MLs) on SiO$_2$/Si wafers st udied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) with high optical quality revealed in optical emission and absorption from cryogenic to ambient temperatures. We determine a defect concentration of the order of 10$^{13}$ cm$^{-2}$ for our samples with HRTEM. To have access to the intrinsic optical quality of the MLs, we remove the MLs from the SiO$_2$ growth substrate and encapsulate them in hBN flakes with low defect density, to reduce the detrimental impact of dielectric disorder. We show optical transition linewidth of 5 meV at low temperature (T=4 K) for the free excitons in emission and absorption. This is comparable to the best ML samples obtained by mechanical exfoliation of bulk material. The CVD grown MoS$_2$ ML photoluminescence is dominated by free excitons and not defects even at low temperature. High optical quality of the samples is further confirmed by the observation of excited exciton states of the Rydberg series. We optically generate valley coherence and valley polarization in our CVD grown MoS$_2$ layers, showing the possibility for studying spin and valley physics in CVD samples of large surface area.
Ammonia (NH3) is commonly used as group V precursor in gallium nitride (GaN) metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The high background carbon (C) impurity in MOCVD GaN is related to the low pyrolysis efficiency of NH3, which represents one of the fundamental challenges hindering the development of high purity thick GaN for vertical high power device applications. This work uses a laser-assisted MOCVD (LA-MOCVD) growth technique to address the high-C issue in MOCVD GaN. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser with wavelength of 9.219 um was utilized to facilitate NH3 decomposition via resonant vibrational excitation. The LA-MOCVD GaN growth rate (as high as 10 um/hr) shows a strong linear relationship with the trimethylgallium (TMGa) flow rate, indicating high effective V/III ratios and hence efficient NH3 decomposition. Pits-free surface morphology of LA-MOCVD GaN was demonstrated for films with growth rate as high as 8.5 um/hr. The background [C] in LA-MOCVD GaN films decreases monotonically as the laser power increases. A low [C] at 5.5E15 cm-3 was achieved in LA-MOCVD GaN film grown with the growth rate of 4 um/hr. Charge transport characterization of LA-MOCVD GaN films reveals high crystalline quality with room temperature mobility >1000 cm2/Vs. LA-MOCVD growth technique provides an enabling route to achieve high quality GaN epitaxy with low-C impurity and fast growth rate simultaneously. This technique can also be extended for epitaxy of other nitride-based semiconductors.
The integration of graphene (Gr) with nitride semiconductors is highly interesting for applications in high-power/high-frequency electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, we demonstrated the direct growth of Gr on Al0.5Ga0.5N/sapphire templates by propane (C3H8) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) at temperature of 1350{deg}C. After optimization of the C3H8 flow rate, a uniform and conformal Gr coverage was achieved, which proved beneficial to prevent degradation of AlGaN morphology. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) revealed Ga loss and partial oxidation of Al in the near-surface AlGaN region. Such chemical modification of a 2 nm thick AlGaN surface region was confirmed by cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) combined with electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), which also showed the presence of a bilayer of Gr with partial sp2/sp3 hybridization. Raman spectra indicated that the deposited Gr is nanocrystalline (with domain size 7 nm) and compressively strained. A Gr sheet resistance of 15.8 kOhm/sq was evaluated by four-point-probe measurements, consistently with the nanocrystalline nature of these films. Furthermore, nanoscale resolution current mapping by conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) indicated local variations of the Gr carrier density at a mesoscopic scale, which can be ascribed to changes in the charge transfer from the substrate due to local oxidation of AlGaN or to the presence of Gr wrinkles.

We have studied the emission properties of self-organized InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown in an InGaAs quantum well by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Low-temperature photoluminescence spectroscopy shows emission from single QDs around 1300 nm; we clearly observe the formation of neutral and charged exciton and biexciton states, and we obtain a biexciton binding energy of 3.1 meV. The dots exhibit an s-p shell splitting of approximately 100 meV, indicating strong confinement.
