  1. Spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization aid each other for tensile strain and oppose for compressive strain Piezoelectric polarization (polarization caused by strain)   strain in x, y, or z directions e  piezoelectric coefficients Therefore, Also, is always –ve, as e31 is always –ve, and others are +ve.

  2. Polarization in heterostructures Interface charge is equal to negative divergence of Polarization ( in cm-3) (int incm-2) Quantum well is formed at the interface Ga-face epilayers -s b Tensile strain AlGaN PSP PPE Ec +int EF E0 GaN Buffer d PSP 2DEG comp int + ve GaN AlGaN c-plane sapphire 2DEG surf
