The region surrounding the puncture quickly evolves to a trumpet geometry. The computational grid covers only a portion of the trumpet throat. It ends at a boundary whose location depends on resolution. This raises the possibility that perturbations in the trumpet geometry could propagate down the trumpet throat, reflect from the puncture boundary, and return to the black hole exterior with a resolution-dependent time delay. Such pathological behavior is not observed. This is explained by the observation that some perturbative modes propagate in the conformal geometry, others propagate in the physical geometry. The puncture boundary exists only in the physical geometry. The modes that propagate in the physical geometry are always directed away from the computational domain at the puncture boundary. The finite difference stencils ensure that these modes are advected through the boundary with no coupling to the modes that propagate in the conformal geometry. These results are supported by numerical experiments with a code that evolves spherically symmetric gravitational fields with standard Cartesian finite difference stencils. The code uses the Baumgarte-Shapiro-Shibata-Nakamura formulation of Einstein's equations with $1+\mathrm{log}$ slicing and gamma-driver shift conditions.}, number={8}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW D}, author={Brown, J.

Critical differences between the resulting epitaxy are observed in the p-type doping using magnesium as the acceptor species. MBE growth, using rf-plasma sources to generate the active nitrogen species for growth, has been used for III-Nitride compounds doped either n-type with silicon or p-type with magnesium. Blue and violet light emitting diode (LED) test structures were fabricated. These vertical devices required a relatively high forward current and exhibited high leakage currents. This behavior was attributed to parallel shorting mechanisms along the dislocations in MBE grown layers. For comparison, similar devices were fabricated using a single wafer vertical flow MOVPE reactor and ammonia as the active nitrogen species. MOVPE grown blue LEDs exhibited excellent forward device characteristics and a high reverse breakdown voltage. We feel that the excess hydrogen, which is present on the GaN surface due to the dissociation of ammonia in MOVPE, acts to passivate the dislocations and eliminate parallel shorting for vertical device structures. These findings support the widespread acceptance of MOVPE, rather than MBE, as the epitaxial growth technique of choice for III-V nitride materials used in vertical transport bipolar devices for optoelectronic applications.}, number={G5.10}, journal={MRS Internet Journal of Nitride Semiconductor Research}, author={Johnson, M.

Plasma sources from three different vendors have been tested. All three of the sources have been used to grow high quality GaN.

GaN growth rates at 800 °C of 1 μm/h have been achieved using this source. The MBE-grown GaN films are deposited homoepitaxially on high quality metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy-grown GaN/SiC substrates. With the growth conditions for high quality undoped GaN as a base line, a detailed study of Mg doping for p-type GaN was performed. An acceptor incorporation of 2×1019 cm−3 was measured by both capacitance–voltage and secondary ion mass spectroscopy for a doping source temperature of 290 °C. However, a faceted three-dimensional growth mode was observed by reflection high energy electron diffraction during Mg doping of GaN. Additional studies suggest an interdependence between Mg incorporation and growth surface morphology.
