In this work, the structure of the chaotic potential in heterocontacts of III-nitrides, caused by the electrostatic field of charged dislocations, is studied. Taking into account the spatial dispersion of the dielectric response of a two-dimensional electron gas, the amplitude and scale of the chaotic potential in the contact plane are determined. The dependence of the parameters of the chaotic potential on the surface states density and the concentration of dislocations is shown.

An AlxGa1−xN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas structure with x = 0.13 deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaN layer grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on a sapphire substrate was characterized. Hall effect measurements gave a sheet electron concentration of 5.1×1012 cm−2 and a mobility of 1.9 × 104 cm2/Vs at 10 K. Mobility spectrum analysis showed single-carrier transport and negligible parallel conduction at low temperatures. The sheet carrier concentrations determined from Shubnikov-de Haas magnetoresistance oscillations were in good agreement with the Hall data. The electron effective mass was determined to be 0.215±0.006 m0 based on the temperature dependence of the amplitude of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The quantum lifetime was about one-fifth of the transport lifetime of 2.3 × 10−12 s.

AbstractA two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG), which has recently been shown to develop in the central vertical plane of a wedge-shaped c-oriented GaN nanowall due to spontaneous polarization effect, offers a unique scenario, where the symmetry between the conduction and valence band is preserved over the entire confining potential. This results in the suppression of Rashba coupling even when the shape of the wedge is not symmetric. Here, for such a 2DEG channel, relaxation time for different spin projections is calculated as a function of donor concentration and gate bias. Our study reveals a strong dependence of the relaxation rate on the spin-orientation and density of carriers in the channel. Most interestingly, relaxation of spin oriented along the direction of confinement has been found to be completely switched off. Upon applying a suitable bias at the gate, the process can be switched on again. Exploiting this fascinating effect, an electrically driven spin-transistor has been proposed.
