Semipolar orientations

The origin and the behavior of the emission in GaN with [11-22], [10-1-1], and [10-1-3] semipolar orientations have been less studied [101,102]. In principle. 

Orient formulae so that the principal heteroatom is at the bottom and the numbering proceeds counterclockwise around the ring. Always write in double bonds, do not use circles in rings. For mesoionic compounds, give (one of) the most important canonical forms. Do not use semipolar bonds, i.e., use —0 , and not N - O for fV-oxides. 

The coordinate link is, of course, electrically unsymmetri-cal and has considerable ionic character hence the names semipolar bond and coionic link, which are also used for this type of binding. Molecules containing the coordinate link usually show a pronounced electrical dipole moment that is, they will tend to turn and orient themselves when they are placed in an electric field just as a compass needle orients itself in a magnetic field. 

In the neighborhood of the semipolar interface the average orientation of the alkyl chains is characterized by an order parameter of S 0.65. Accordingly these lamellar phases are well suited to prepare highly ordered solutions of polar and amphiphilic molecules. 

Solubilization is the process of preparation of thermodynamically stable isotropic solution of a substance (normally insoluble or sparingly soluble in a given solvent) by incorporation of an additional amphiphiUc component(s) [27]. It is the incorporation of the compound (referred to as solubilizate or substrate) within micellar (L phase) or reverse micellar (L2 phase) system. Lipophilic (water insoluble) substances become incorporated in the (normal micelle) phase. Hydrophilic (water soluble) substances are incorporated in the L2 phase. The site of incorporation of the solubilizate is closely related to its structure, as illustrated in Fig. 2.22 nonpolar solubilizate in the hydrocarbon core semipolar or polar solubilizate oriented within the micelle (short or deep) [28]. 

An alternative approach for producing templates with nonpolar or semipolar surfaces is growth of GaN boules in the conventional [0001] direction up to a significant thickness by HVPE that could then be sliced into bars or vrafers with desired orientations. This type of GaN material was characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction, TEM, and CL, and confirmed to be of high structural quality with TD density in the range of 10 cm [103,104]. 

In 2000, Waltereit, Brandt, and coworkers in Klaus Ploog s group at the Paul Drude Institute in Berlin reported the first planar nonpolar (1100) m-plane films on (100) oriented y-LiAl02 substrates [16]. In their breakthrough paper in Nature, Waltereit demonstrated the absence of internal electric fields in m-plane GaN quantum wells with AlGaN barriers. Waltereit s work motivated a worldwide research effort in nonpolar and semipolar nitrides.
