Phonon deformation potentials of hexagonal GaN studied by biaxial stress modulation

In this work, a biaxial stress modulation method, combining the microfabrication technique, finite element analysis and a weighted averaging process, was developed to study piezospectroscopic behavior of hexagonal GaN films, epitaxially grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on c-sapphire a...
