Joint publication among the top 10 downloads

The joint publication "Radiative Recombination and Carrier Injection Efficiencies in 265 nm Deep Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes Grown on AlN/Sapphire Templates with Different Defect Densities" by authors from the TU Berlin, the FBH, and the IKZ is among the top 10 downloaded publications in Physica Status Solidi (A) - Applications and Material Science.

The authors Anton Muhin, Martin Guttmann, Verena Montag, Norman Susilo, Eviathar Ziffer, Luca Sulmoni, Sylvia Hagedorn, Neysha Lobo-Ploch, Jens Rass, Leonardo Cancellara, Shaojun Wu, Tim Wernicke, and Michael Kneissl analyzed and compared three types of templates of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes (DUV LEDs) emitting at 265 nm. A main focus of their research activities was on improving the light extraction efficiency of the LEDs, which is the most limiting factor of DUV LEDs. Such LEDs are interesting for applications like, e.g., disinfection of surfaces and virus inactivation.
