Yongjin Cho, research associate in electrical and computer engineering, is the lead author of a new paper published by the journal Applied Physics Letters. The paper titled “Molecular beam homoepitaxy on bulk AlN enabled by aluminum-assisted surface cleaning” was selected as an Editor’s Pick. ECE Professors Huili Grace Xing and Debdeep Jena are among the paper’s co-authors. The research examines the effectiveness using aluminum to assist in the cleaning of native surface oxides of bulk AlN. “Native surface oxide of AlN substrate has been a major obstacle to the success of high quality sample...
