Epitaxial high-K AlBN barrier GaN HEMTs

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Chandrashekhar Savant, Thai-Son Nguyen, Kazuki Nomoto, Saurabh Vishwakarma, Siyuan Ma | Summary: We report a polarization-induced 2D electron gas (2DEG) at an epitaxial AlBN/GaN heterojunction grown on a SiC substrate. Using this 2DEG in a long conducting channel, we realize ultra-thin barrier AlBN/GaN high electron mobility transistors […]

Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spectroastrometry and reverberation mapping (SARM) of broad-line regions (BLRs) constitutes a novel means to probe […]

Growth and characterization of single crystal cubic TaN and hexagonal Ta$_2$N films on c-plane Sapphire

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Anand Ithepalli, Amit Rohan Rajapurohita, Arjan Singh, Rishabh Singh, John Wright | Summary: Two single crystal phases of tantalum nitride were stabilized on c-plane sapphire using molecular beam epitaxy. The phases were identified to be $delta$-TaN with a rocksalt cubic structure and $gamma$-Ta$_2$N with a hexagonal structure. […]

Asteroseismic Study of Subgiants and Giants of the Open Cluster M67 using Kepler/K2: Expanded Sample and Precise Masses

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Claudia Reyes, Dennis Stello, Marc Hon, Yaguang Li, Timothy R. Bedding | Summary: Sparked by the asteroseismic space revolution, ensemble studies have been used to produce empirical relations linking observed seismic properties and fundamental stellar properties. Cluster stars are particularly valuable because they have the same metallicity, […]
