Abstract

As gallium nitride (GaN) grows in importance, an atomic scale understanding of device performance is of significant relevance. In this paper, we present the first observations of near zero-field magnetoresistance (NZFMR) detecting electrically active defects in GaN-based devices. Our observations involve recombination current in GaN pn junction diodes. We attribute the NZFMR response to gallium vacancies.
