Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal seeks resources to carry out modelling studies on point and extended defects in GaN, AIN and InN, and to investigate their interaction. The modelling studies will use ab initio cluster and supercell methods developed over several years. The structure and properties of extended defects as well as their interaction with point defects, impurities and dopants will be explored. The role of oxygen in the yellow luminescence often detected in GaN grown on sapphire will also be investigated. The calculations will be directed to helping the UK community carrying out growth and characterisation studies of these nitrides.
