Their presence is related to the high Al mole fraction which creates potential fluctuations at the surface of the sample.

The orientation of the C-V hysteresis loop depends on both the polarization of the ferroelectric layer and the trapped charges injected into the insularor layer. These two effects are opposite to each other. The C-Vorientation is counterclockwise when the applied voltage is below 7 V and clockwise above 7 V The C-V memory window j r s t increases and then decreases with the applied sweep voltage.

However, due to convection in the melt caused by the gravity, it is very difficult to grow a compositionally homogeneous In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As single crystal on ground using the conventional growth techniques. Considering the shortcomings of the conventional growth methods, we have developed a novel growth technique, named as the traveling liquidus-zone method, which can be used to grow compositionally homogeneous In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/As single crystals in space, under the micro-gravity conditions. This new technique, which has some specific requirements about the starting material and the growth temperature profile, has been used on ground to carry out some preliminary growths. Since a precise evaluation of compositional profile is inevitable, the starting materials as well as the preliminarily grown crystals have been non-destructively characterized.","PeriodicalId":109480,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Semiconducting and Insulating Materials, 2002.

This technique allows precise determination of the strong internal field changes at the GaN/InGaN-hetero-interface that originate from strain-induced polarization and differences in spontaneous polarization. We find field-induced absorption changes as large as 7000 cm/sup -1/ below and almost 20000 cm/sup -1/ above the band edge.
