    Towards uniform electrochemical porosification of bulk HVPE-grown GaN
    (Pennington, NJ : Electrochemical Society Inc., 2019) Monaico, E.; Moise, C.; Mihai, G.; Ursaki, V.V.; Leistner, K.; Tiginyanu, I.M.; Enachescu, M.; Nielsch, K.
    In this paper, we report on results of a systematic study of porous morphologies obtained using anodization of HVPE-grown crystalline GaN wafers in HNO3, HCl, and NaCl solutions. The anodization-induced nanostructuring is found to proceed in different ways on N-and Ga-faces of polar GaN substrates. Complex pyramidal structures are disclosed and shown to be composed of regions with the degree of porosity modulated along the pyramid surface. Depending on the electrolyte and applied anodization voltage, formation of arrays of pores or nanowires has been evidenced near the N-face of the wafer. By adjusting the anodization voltage, we demonstrate that both current-line oriented pores and crystallographic pores are generated. In contrast to this, porosification of the Ga-face proceeds from some imperfections on the surface and develops in depth up to 50 μm, producing porous matrices with pores oriented perpendicularly to the wafer surface, the thickness of the pore walls being controlled by the applied voltage. The observed peculiarities are explained by different values of the electrical conductivity of the material near the two wafer surfaces.

    Two-color two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy: A new approach for exploring even-order nonlinearities in the nonperturbative regime
    (Melville, NY : American Institute of Physics, 2021) Woerner, Michael; Ghalgaoui, Ahmed; Reimann, Klaus; Elsaesser, Thomas
    Nonlinear two-dimensional terahertz (2D-THz) spectroscopy at frequencies of the emitted THz signal different from the driving frequencies allows for exploring the regime of (off-)resonant even-order nonlinearities in condensed matter. To demonstrate the potential of this method, we study two phenomena in the nonlinear THz response of bulk GaAs: (i) The nonlinear THz response to a pair of femtosecond near-infrared pulses unravels novel fourth- and sixth-order contributions involving interband shift currents, Raman-like excitations of transverse-optical phonon and intervalence-band coherences. (ii) Transient interband tunneling of electrons driven by ultrashort mid-infrared pulses can be effectively controlled by a low-frequency THz field with amplitudes below 50 kV/cm. The THz field controls the electron–hole separation modifying decoherence and the irreversibility of carrier generation.
