研究目的
Investigating the anisotropic thermal transport induced by dislocations in single-crystal group-III nitride films and its implications for thermal management in electronic devices.
研究成果
The study provides the first unambiguous evidence for dislocation-induced anisotropic thermal transport, confirming predictions made six decades ago. The results suggest that dislocations can be used to tailor anisotropic thermal transport, offering new possibilities for thermal management in electronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited by the challenges of synthesizing single-crystal materials with a large density of highly oriented dislocations and accurately measuring their thermal conductivity. Additionally, the empirical models for phonon–dislocation interactions may underestimate the scattering strength at cryogenic temperatures.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed time-domain thermoreflectance (TDTR) to measure the thermal conductivity of InN films with highly oriented threading dislocations. The methodology included the use of plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE) for film synthesis and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) for dislocation density determination.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Single-crystalline InN films were grown on c-plane, (0001)-oriented GaN/sapphire substrates with an In0.8Ga0.2N buffer layer. The films varied in dislocation density from 1.1 × 1010 cm?2 to 2.9 × 1010 cm?
3：8Ga2N buffer layer. The films varied in dislocation density from 1 × 1010 cm?2 to 9 × 1010 cm?List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included an ultrafast laser for TDTR measurements, PAMBE for film growth, and TEM for structural characterization. Materials included InN films, GaN/sapphire substrates, and InGaN buffer layers.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The procedure involved growing InN films, characterizing their dislocation densities, and measuring their thermal conductivity using TDTR at various temperatures.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The thermal conductivity was derived by comparing measured cooling curves to calculations of a thermal model. First-principles calculations were used to understand phonon–dislocation interactions.
