Abstract

 

      Research and developments on advanced semiconductors, especially wide energy pap GaN, SiC and ZnO based, various oxides, related materials and quantum/nano structures are very active in recent years. Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solid-state light sources, in particular GaN-based light emitting diodes (LEDs), and solar cells, are currently bringing more applications and benefits to whole world [1]. The achievements on GaN-based blue LEDs were awarded for 2014 Nobel-Physics price. SiC is recognizing as the power electronic materials for the 21st century, with greatly enhanced R&D over the world [2]. ZnO is rapidly rising as the 3rd class of promising wide gap semiconductor [3]. New oxides & compound semiconductors are developing amazingly. 


      This presentation reports on our recent significant works, via multi-techniques of HR-XRD, HR-TEM, Raman scattering, photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, time resolved (TR) PL, spectroscopy ellipsometry (SE), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Rutherford backscattering (RBS), Synchrotron radiation (SR) X-ray absorption (XAS), combined with theory & simulation, on some materials and quantum/nano structures, as below:
1) III-Nitride (GaN,AlN,InN,AlGaN,InGaN,AlInGaN) materials & quantum well/nano-structural LEDs/LDs/QDs.  Mysteries of unveiled physical origin of intense light generation from N-LEDs/LDs/QDs are explored.
2) Cross science-field studies on (3C-, 6H-, 4H-) SiC using Raman & resonant Raman scattering, SE, FTIR plus RBS, SR-XAS, XPS, etc., especially for epitaxial 3C-SiC/Si, 3C/4H-SiC, 6H/6H-SiC and 4H/4H-SiC.
3) Multi-technique investigation on MOCVD/PLD-grown ZnO, MgZnO, AlZnO, and InGaN/GaN/ZnO.
4) Other & related: high-k HfTaO2; Ga2O3, Solar cells (CdTe/CdS-, …); III-V & II-VI compounds.


      The combination of theory-experiment, and interdisciplinary research are demonstrated. Some unsolved and challenging issues are presented. It’s hopeful to penetrate into fundamental concepts and properties, to explore & solve some tough problems, and to develop/enhance the Cross-Sea-Strait collaboration & exchanging, for students and professors, especially on our new Lab/instruments.
