Recently several hexagonal polytypes such as 2H, 4H, and 6H have been discovered for
conventional III–V semiconductor compounds in addition to the cubic 3C zinc-blende …

Nucleation theory provides a powerful tool for growth modeling of a variety of objects: from
liquid droplets to thin solid films and biological structures. Theoretical approaches based on …

The main challenge for light-emitting diodes is to increase the efficiency in the green part of
the spectrum. Gallium phosphide (GaP) with the normal cubic crystal structure has an …

Multiple resonance modes in an optical absorber are necessary for nanophotonic devices
and encounter a challenge in the visible range. This article designs a multiple-channel …

The quasiparticle band structures of four polytypes 3C, 6H, 4H, and 2H of GaP, GaAs, GaSb,
InP, InAs, and InSb are computed with high accuracy including spin-orbit interaction …

Tunneling field-effect transistors (TunnelFET), a leading steep-slope transistor candidate, is
still plagued by defect response, and there is a large discrepancy between measured and …

In semiconductor nanowires, the coexistence of wurtzite and zinc-blende phases enables
the engineering of the electronic structure within a single material. This presupposes an …

Defect-based quantum systems in wide bandgap semiconductors are strong candidates for
scalable quantum-information technologies. However, these systems are often complicated …

This article summarizes some of the critical features of pure indium antimonide nanowires
(InSb NWs) growth and their potential applications in the industry. In the first section …

We employ first-principles techniques tailored to properly describe semiconductors
(semilocal exchange potential added to the exchange-correlation functional), to obtain the …
