A technology to reduce the dislocation density in GaN thin films by lateral overgrowth from trenches (LOFT) is reported. In LOFT, a GaN thin film was grown on sapphire substrate first, then trenches were formed into the thin film by etching. GaN material was regrown laterally from the trench sidewalls to form a continuous thin film. The average surface density of threading dislocations is reduced from 8×109/cm2 in the first GaN thin film to 6×107/cm2 in the regrown GaN thin film.

Oxygen incorporation in Al y In 1-y P (y ~ 0.5) grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been studied as a function of PH 3 flow, growth temperature, and alloy composition. Both O 2 and diethylaluminum ethoxide (DEAlO) were employed as sources of oxygen. The incorporation of oxygen was found to be a superlinear function of O 2 or DEAlO flow. When multiple sources of oxygen are present, a surface interaction leads to enhanced oxygen incorporation. Oxygen incorporation cannot be adequately described by a simple dependence on growth temperature or V/III ratio due to strong interactions between these variables. In Mg-doped AlInP co-doped with oxygen, the incorporation of both Mg and O is strongly affected by an interaction between the two species, and roughly 10% of the oxygen atoms act as compensating donors.

Breast cancer is one of the most common types of malignant tumors worldwide and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. According to the latest report from the World Health Organization, breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer, becoming the most diagnosed cancer globally. Herein, a systematic, quantitative, and visual analysis of the scientific achievements in natural products research and development for breast cancer over the past 30 years is presented. The study utilizes bibliometric and knowledge graph visualization techniques to analyze the trends, co-occurrence of keywords, cooperative networks, cited literature, and research hotspots in the field. The analysis shows that breast cancer natural drug development involves mutual cooperation between multiple countries, with China, the United States, and India being the most active players. Pharmacology is the discipline with the largest number of articles published in nearly 30 years. The study also reveals that the extraction of drugs from organisms and their metabolites is an important direction in the current development of anticancer drugs. The development of natural medicines for breast cancer together with the mining of genetic knowledge play an important role in treating human breast cancer. The research presented here provides insights into the current state of natural product research and development for breast cancer, and highlights the need for strengthening mutual communication and cooperation between countries and scientific research institutions to enhance the development of breast cancer treatment technologies and natural medicines.
