The unexpected magnetism in 2D group-IV-doped GaN for spintronic applications

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Ferromagnetic ZnO Nanowires for Spintronic Applications

Magnetic compounds for improving spintronic applications

I wrote this thesis by myself and used none but the indicated resources. Text and figures were partly taken from corresponding publications, which originate directly from this work.

3D continuum phonon model for group-IV 2D materials

A general three-dimensional continuum model of phonons in two-dimensional materials is developed. Our first-principles derivation includes full consideration of the lattice anisotropy and flexural modes perpendicular to the layers and can thus be applied to any two-dimensional material. In this paper, we use the model to not only compare the phonon spectra among the group-IV materials but also ...

Utilization of native oxygen in Eu(RE)-doped GaN for enabling device compatibility in optoelectronic applications

The detrimental influence of oxygen on the performance and reliability of V/III nitride based devices is well known. However, the influence of oxygen on the nature of the incorporation of other co-dopants, such as rare earth ions, has been largely overlooked in GaN. Here, we report the first comprehensive study of the critical role that oxygen has on Eu in GaN, as well as atomic scale observati...
