Phonon spectroscopy with chirped shear and compressive acoustic pulses (2017)
Journal Article
Poyser, C. L., York, W., Srikanthreddy, D., Glavin, B., Linnik, T., Campion, R., Akimov, A., & Kent, A. (in press). Phonon spectroscopy with chirped shear and compressive acoustic pulses. Physical Review Letters, 119, Article 255502. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.119.255502

Picosecond duration compressive and shear phonon wave packets injected into (311) GaAs slabs transform after propagation through ∼1  mm into chirped acoustic pulses with a frequency increasing in time due to phonon dispersion. By probing the temporal... Read More about Phonon spectroscopy with chirped shear and compressive acoustic pulses.

Molecular beam epitaxy as a growth technique for achieving free-standing zinc-blende GaN and wurtzite AlxGa1-xN (2017)
Journal Article
Novikov, S. V., Kent, A., & Foxon, C. (2017). Molecular beam epitaxy as a growth technique for achieving free-standing zinc-blende GaN and wurtzite AlxGa1-xN. Progress in Crystal Growth and Characterization of Materials, 63(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pcrysgrow.2017.04.001

Currently there is a high level of interest in the development of ultraviolet (UV) light sources for solid state lighting, optical sensors, surface decontamination and water purification. III-V semiconductor UV LEDs are now successfully manufactured... Read More about Molecular beam epitaxy as a growth technique for achieving free-standing zinc-blende GaN and wurtzite AlxGa1-xN.

Piezoelectric response to coherent longitudinal and transverse acoustic phonons in a semiconductor Schottky diode (2017)
Journal Article

Piezoelectric response to coherent longitudinal and transverse acoustic phonons in a semiconductor Schottky diode. Physical Review Applied, 7(2), Article 024014. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.7.024014

We study the generation of microwave electronic signals by pumping a (311) GaAs Schottky diode with compressive and shear acoustic phonons, generated by femtosecond optical excitation of an Al _lm transducer and mode conversion at the Al-GaAs interfa...
