The CL emission peak showed a blueshift with increasing reverse bias due to the cancellation of the piezoelectric field. A full compensation of the piezoelectric field was observed followed by a redshift with a further increase of reverse bias, indicating that flat-band conditions had been reached. We determined the piezoelectric field points in the [000-1] direction and estimated the magnitude to be approximately 1MV∕cm. SEM-CL carrier generation density variation and electroluminescence experiments were also used to confirm the existence of a piezoelectric field in the InGaN MQW LED.}, number={8}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Bunker, KL and Garcia, R and Russell, PE}, year={2005}, month={Feb} } @article{edmond_abare_bergman_bharathan_bunker_emerson_haberern_ibbetson_leung_russell_et al._2004, title={High efficiency GaN-based LEDs and lasers on SiC}, volume={272}, number={04-Jan}, journal={Journal of Crystal Growth}, author={Edmond, J. and Abare, A. and Bergman, M. and Bharathan, J. and Bunker, K.

Cross-sectional Electrical Force Microscopy and High Resolution Electron Beam Induced Current (HR-EBIC) are used to study and identify regions of the cross-sectional surface of InGaN heterostructures with different types of electrical conductivity, the location of the InGaN quantum well, the location of the p–n junction, and the depletion layer. HR-EBIC was implemented in a Scanning Transmission Electron Microscope to take advantage of the high resolution chemical imaging capabilities of this microscope, such as Z-Contrast and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and the small spread of the high energy electron beam in the electron transparent thin sample that allows electron beam induced current imaging with nanometer resolution.}, number={5-8}, journal={MICROELECTRONICS JOURNAL}, author={Gonzalez, JC and Silva, MIN and Bunker, KL and Batchelor, AD and Russell, PE}, year={2003}, pages={455–457} }
