    • Detecting minute amounts of nitrogen in GaNAs thin films using STEM and CBED 

      Vatanparast, Maryam; Shao, Yu-Tsun; Rajpalke, Mohana; Fimland, Bjørn-Ove; Reenaas, Turid Dory; Holmestad, Randi; Vullum, Per Erik; Zuo, Jian Min (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Nitrogen (N) is a common element added to GaAs for band gap engineering and strain compensation. However, detection of small amounts of N is difficult for electron microscopy as well as for other chemical analysis techniques. ...
    • Low-Energy Electronic Properties of Graphene 

      Vatanparast, Maryam (Master thesis, 2013)
      We investigate the electronic structure of two-dimensional (2D) mate- rials with and without spin-orbit coupling. Initially, we use the tight- binding model to derive the electronic structure of graphene with stag- gered ...
