Influence of vacancies on GaN/AlN interface characteristics

The results of the influence of point defects (vacancy with interstitial atom) on the GaN/AlN heterointerface is presented. It was ascertained that presence of Al atom vacancy in the heterointerface leads to the contacting layer atoms rearrangement. The presence of N atom vacancy does not influence on the contacting Ga and Al layers intermixing.
