Tutorials International School on Physics and Technology of Nitride Compound September 8-9, 2019, St.Petersburg, Russia The International School organized by Ioffe Institute is devoted to fabrication technologies and fundamental properties of modern wide gap semiconductor materials and heterostructures on their basis, including the III-Nitride family with widely studied AlGaN system and Boron Nitride recently attracted a lot of attention and technological efforts, as well as Ga2O3-like oxides. The challenges of different technological methods like plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy and metalorganic chemical vapor deposition for fabrication of low-defect density III-Nitride monolayer-scale quantum wells, quantum dots, and nanowire nanostructures will be considered in detail, as well as bulk growth of III-Oxide materials. Careful theoretical examination of point defects in wide gap semiconductors and sophisticated high-resolution studies of structural and optical properties of the III-N epilayers and nanoheterostructures will be in a focus of the lectures, as well as some inherent problems related to a specific electronic structure of these materials versus Al content, polarization effects, p-doping issues etc. Optical and excitonic properties of BN monolayers and monolayer-thick 2D GaN quantum wells will be followed both theoretically and from experimental point of view as their thickness increases from one till several monolayers. Finally, new ideas and approaches in designing and fabrication of photonic devices of different kind (LEDs, lasers, high-power spontaneous emitters with electron-beam pumping, photodiodes etc. ) operating in the mid- and deep-UV ranges will be discussed. During two days the prominent international experts in the field from US, Germany, France, and Russia will deliver the 50-min lectures. All the speakers presented numerously their results as invited or plenary talks at the prestigious international and domestic conferences. All the students, PhD students, and young researchers from Saint-Petersburg Universities and Research Institutes, as well as IWUMD4 participants which are interested in the field, are very welcome! To participate in the School the on-site Registration by the Organizing Committee is necessary. Registration is open 1.5 hours prior to the lectures beginning at the Congress Hall foyer and lasts till the final lecture. There is no Registration fee for scholars. The School is supported by Russian Science Foundation (Grant # 19-72-30040).
