Microscopic origins of surface states on nitride surfaces

Open access
Van de Walle, Chris G., Segev, David·2007·Journal of Applied Physics

Abstract

We report a systematic and comprehensive computational study of the electronic structure of GaN and InN surfaces in various orientations, including the polar c plane, as well as the nonpolar a and m planes. Surface band structures and density-of-states plots show the energetic position of surface states, and by correlating the electronic structure with atomistic information we are able to identify the microscopic origins of each of these states. Fermi-level pinning positions are identified, depending on surface stoichiometry and surface polarity. For polar InN we find that all the surface states are located above the conduction-band minimum, and explain the source of the intrinsic electron accumulation that has been universally observed on InN surfaces.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
