Welcome

 

The III-nitride materials and devices group is located in the Center for High Technology Materials (CHTM) at the University of New Mexico and is directed by Professor Daniel Feezell. The research interests of the group include epitaxial growth, fabrication, and characterization of group III-nitride materials and devices with a focus on nonpolar/semipolar orientations, solid-state lighting and high-efficiency LEDs, III-nitride nanophotonics, superluminescent diodes, visible edge-emitting and vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs), power electronics, intersubband photodetectors, and nanoscale selective-area epitaxy.
