GaN-based semiconductor devices and materials

This cluster of papers focuses on the first-principles calculations, properties, and applications of III-nitride semiconductors, particularly Gallium Nitride (GaN) and its alloys. It covers topics such as defects and impurities, band parameters, high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs), AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, nanowires, UV LEDs, and their applications in solid-state lighting.

128,007 works

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
