The Hall-Petch relationship can fail when the grain size is below a critical value of tens of nanometres. This occurs particularly for coatings having porous surfaces. In this study, electrodeposited nanostructured Co-Ni coatings from four different nickel electroplating baths having grain sizes in the range of 11–23 nm have been investigated. The ...
Crack-free GaN epitaxial layer was obtained through inserting 80 nm graded AlGaN buffer layer between GaN epilayer and high temperature AlN buffer on 2-in Si(111) substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. This paper investigated the influence of AlGaN buffer thickness on the structural properties of the GaN epilayer. It was confirmed f...
We studied the influence of high temperature AlN buffer thickness on the property of GaN film on Si (1 1 1) substrate. Samples were grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction were employed to characterize the samples. The results demonstrated that thickness of high temperature...

The influence of dielectric surface energy on the initial nucleation and the growth of pentacene films as well as the electrical properties of the pentacene-based field-effect transistors are investigated. We have examined a range of organic and inorganic dielectrics with different surface energies, such as polycarbonate/SiO2, polystyrene/SiO2, and...

The well-width dependence of in-plane optical anisotropy (IPOA) in (001) GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells induced by in-plane uniaxial strain and interface asymmetry has been studied comprehensively. Theoretical calculations show that the IPOA induced by in-plane uniaxial strain and interface asymmetry exhibits much different well-width dependence. Th...
This paper presents a study of the transformation of high-temperature AlN (HT-AlN) interlayer (IL) and its effect on the strain relaxation of Al0.25Ga0.75N/HT-AlN/GaN. The HT-AlN IL capped with Al0.25Ga0.75N transforms into AlGaN IL in which the Al composition increases with the HT-AlN IL thickness while the total Ga content keeps nearly constant. ...
Crack-free GaN films have been achieved by inserting an Indoped low-temperature (LT) AlGaN interlayer grown on silicon by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The relationship between lattice constants c and a obtained by X-ray diffraction analysis shows that indium doping interlayer can reduce the stress in GaN layers. The stress in GaN decreas...
