The temperature dependence of the piezotronic and piezophototronic effects in a-axis GaN nanobelts from 77 to 300 K is investigated. The piezotronic effect is enhanced by over 440% under lower temp-eratures. Two independent processes are discovered to form a competing mechanism through the investigation of the temperature dependence of the piezophototronic effect in a-axis GaN nanobelts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
