| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1. Dipole scattering self-energy for GaN/AlGaN superlattices were modeled, and it was utilized to investigate carrier transport based on the NEGF. By this study, it was confirmed that compositional Al ratios between 0.3 and 0.7 can highly influence the level broadening.
2. Generation of random electric field due to the roughness induced charge at the interfaces of GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) is reported. By this study, it is revealed that even for the 0.1 Al compositional ratio of GaN/AlGaN MQW can generate RMS random electric field over 1 MV/cm for the case of bad interface quality.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
We step forward to clarify the carrier transport in AlGaN-based superlattices through this project's analytical and numerical calculations. Continuous research stemming from this project will help realize the unexplored frequency's terahertz laser device and high-efficiency deep-UV emitter.
