The proposed research will address a number of growth-related challenges for AlGaN used in traditional UV LEDs and LDs, as well as investigate a previously understudied material, AlInN, as a replacement for both InGaN and AlGaN in many optical and photovoltaic devices. Further, a method for the formation of relaxed InGaN substrates will be investigated to create a solution for InGaN based LED growth. MME growth of high quality AlInN will be pursued, first at a single composition, then expanding to the entire composition range. Simultaneously, a method for the formation of AlxGa1-xN\/AlyGa1-yN (x\u0026ne;y) self-assembled superlattices (SASL) will be investigated. Finally, AlInN oxidation will be investigated in order to form relaxed InGaN substrates for optical devices.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Controlling Adatom Kinetics to Overcome Traditional Limitations for III-Nitride Ternary Alloys"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2021-11-12 16:41:54","changed_gmt":"2021-11-12 16:41:54","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-11-18T10:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2021-11-18T12:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-11-18T12:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-11-18 15:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-11-18 17:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-11-18 17:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
