This report classifies emission inhomogeneities that manifest in InGaN quantum well blue light-emitting diodes grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy on free-standing GaN substrates. By a combination of spatially resolved electroluminescence and cathodoluminescence measurements, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and hot wet KOH etching, the identified inhomogeneities are found to fall in four categories. Labeled here as type I through IV, they are distinguishable by their size, density, energy, intensity, radiative and electronic characteristics and chemical etch pits which correlates them with dislocations. Type I exhibits a blueshift of about 120 meV for the InGaN quantum well emission attributed to a perturbation of the active region, which is related to indium droplets that form on the surface in the metal-rich InGaN growth condition. Specifically, we attribute the blueshift to a decreased growth rate of and indium incorporation in the InGaN quantum wells underneath the droplet which is postulated to be the result of reduced incorporated N species due to increased N$_{2}$ formation. The location of droplets are correlated with mixed type dislocations for type I defects. Types II through IV are due to screw dislocations, edge dislocations, and dislocation bunching, respectively, and form dark spots due to leakage current and nonradiative recombination.

Single atoms and few-atom nanoclusters are of high interest in catalysis and plasmonics, but pathways for their fabrication and stable placement remain scarce. We report here the self-assembly of room-temperature-stable single indium (In) atoms and f
ew-atom In clusters (2-6 atoms) that are anchored to substitutional silicon (Si) impurity atoms in suspended monolayer graphene membranes. Using atomically resolved scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), we find that the exact atomic arrangements of the In atoms depend strongly on the original coordination of the Si anchors in the graphene lattice: Single In atoms and In clusters with 3-fold symmetry readily form on 3-fold coordinated Si atoms, whereas 4-fold symmetric clusters are found attached to 4-fold coordinated Si atoms. All structures are produced by our fabrication route without the requirement for electron-beam induced materials modification. In turn, when activated by electron beam irradiation in the STEM, we observe in situ the formation, restructuring and translation dynamics of the Si-anchored In structures: Hexagon-centered 4-fold symmetric In clusters can (reversibly) transform into In chains or In dimers, whereas C-centered 3-fold symmetric In clusters can move along the zig-zag direction of the graphene lattice due to the migration of Si atoms during electron-beam irradiation, or transform to Si-anchored single In atoms. Our results provide a novel framework for the controlled self-assembly and heteroatomic anchoring of single atoms and few-atom clusters on graphene.
In this work, we demonstrate scaled back-end-of-line (BEOL) compatible indium oxide (In2O3) transistors by atomic layer deposition (ALD) with channel thickness (Tch) of 1.0-1.5 nm, channel length (Lch) down to 40 nm, and equivalent oxide thickness (E
OT) of 2.1 nm, with record high drain current of 2.0 A/mm at VDS of 0.7 V among all oxide semiconductors. Enhancement-mode In2O3 transistors with ID over 1.0 A/mm at VDS of 1 V are also achieved by controlling the channel thickness down to 1.0 nm at atomic layer scale. Such high current density in a relatively low mobility amorphous oxide semiconductor is understood by the formation of high density 2D channel beyond 4E13 /cm2 at HfO2/In2O3 oxide/oxide interface.
One-dimensional Indium wires grown on Si(111) substrates, which are metallic at high temperatures, become insulating below $sim100$ K due to the formation of a Charge Density Wave (CDW). The physics of this transition is not conventional and involves
a multiband Peierls instability with strong interband coupling. This CDW ground state is readily destroyed with femtosecond laser pulses resulting in a light-induced insulator-to-metal phase transition. The current understanding of this transition remains incomplete, requiring measurements of the transient electronic structure to complement previous investigations of the lattice dynamics. Time- and angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy with extreme ultra-violet radiation is applied to this end. We find that the transition from the insulating to the metallic band structure occurs within $sim660$ fs that is a fraction of the amplitude mode period. The long life time of the transient state ($>100$ ps) is attributed to trapping in a metastable state in accordance with previous work.
High resolution coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy of an ensemble of red-emitting InGaN quantum dots in GaN nanowires is reported. The data show a pronounced atom-like interaction between resonant laser fields and quantum dot excitons at low tem
perature that is difficult to observe in the linear absorption spectrum due to inhomogeneous broadening from indium fluctuation effects. We find that the nonlinear signal persists strongly at room temperature. The robust atom-like room temperature response indicates the possibility that this material could serve as the platform for proposed excitonic based applications without the need of cryogenics.
InGaN is an ideal alloy system for optoelectronic devices due its tunable band gap. Yet high-quality InGaN requires high In concentration, which is a challenging issue that limits its use in green-light LEDs and other devices. In this paper, we inves
tigated the surfactant effect of Sb on the In incorporation on InGaN (000-1) surface via first-principles approaches. Surface phase diagram was also constructed to determine surface structures under different growth conditions. By analyzing surface stress under different structures, we found that Sb adatom can induce tensile sites in the cation layer, enhancing the In incorporation. These fi ndings may provide fundamental understandings and guidelines for the growth of InGaN with high In concentration.
