Abstract

β-Ga2O3 is a promising material for the development of next-generation power electronic and optoelectronic devices due to its exceptional properties, including ultrawide bandgap and thermodynamic stability. Strain engineering has emerged as a powerful method to modulate the physical properties of ma...
