TL;DR: In this article, the donor binding energy in a cylindrical zinc-blende (ZB) symmetric InGaN/GaN coupled quantum dots (QDs) is investigated variationally in the presence of an applied electric field.

TL;DR: In this article, the donor binding energy of a hydrogenic impurity in zinc-blende (ZB) GaN/AlN coupled quantum dots (QDs) using a variational method was calculated.

TL;DR: In this article, a four-period GaN-based air-gap distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) using wet etching of sacrificial AlInN layers is presented.

TL;DR: In order to understand the mechanism of light emission and to seek the special In-related crystal microstructures associated with the elusive electron localization centers, Wang et al. as discussed by the authors considered four representative In configurations (uniform, small In-N clusters, short In -N chains, and a combination of clusters and chains) in wurtzite Ga-rich In x Ga 1− x N alloys and In X Ga 1 − x N/GaN strained quantum wells (QWs), respectively, and investigated their electronic structures using powerful first-principles calculations.

TL;DR: The basic concepts of solid state physics have been discussed in detail in this article, where the authors present a review of the main concepts of Solid State Physics and its applications in the literature.

TL;DR: In this article, the degradation mechanisms and enhancement factors of AIGaAs/GaAs light sources reliability and degradation of InGaAsP/InP surface emitting type LEDs reliability in LEDs and laser diodes degradation of MBE-and MOVPE-grown lasers degradation of bonds and heat sinks degradation modes and lifetime of semiconductor LEDs and lasers

TL;DR: The first International Symposium on Gallium Nitride and related materials was held on November 27-December 1, 1995, in Boston, Massachusetts, US as mentioned in this paper, which reflected the large amount of work that has taken place since the announcement of commercial blue light emitting devices.
