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.

Unintentional boron incorporation in AlGaN layers grown by plasma-assisted MBE using highly efficient nitrogen RF plasma-sources (2017)
Journal Article
Novikov, S. V., & Foxon, C. (2017). Unintentional boron incorporation in AlGaN layers grown by plasma-assisted MBE using highly efficient nitrogen RF plasma-sources. Journal of Crystal Growth, 477, 154-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcrysgro.2017.01.007

Plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) is now widely used for the growth of group III-nitrides. Many years ago it became clear that during PA-MBE there is unintentional doping of GaN with boron (B) due to decomposition of the pyrolytic boron...
