Polarization-Field Control in Nitride Light Emitters Guest Editors: Ferdinand Scholz and Ulrich Schwarz

Phys. Status Solidi B 253(1), 1–188 (2016), DOI 10.1002/pssb.2016.v253.1

The strong polar character of nitride-based structures as a consequence of their wurtzitic crystal-line structure has a huge impact on carrier transport and recombination in GaN-based light emit-ting diodes (LEDs) with InGaN quantum wells. The Special Issue of pss(b) collects 24 originalpublications investigating this topic. Two Feature Articles present an overview, concentrating onapproaches how to obtain semipolar heterostructures (Scholz et al.) and critically comparing vari-ous semipolar directions grown on patterned sapphire substrates and their potential for optoelec-tronic device applications (Leung et al.). Other papers are devoted to epitaxial growth issues andsophisticated characterization tools. The large number of manuscripts dealing with multi heteroand quantum well structures demonstrates the maturity obtained in this field over the recent years.

Carbononics – integrating electronics, photonics and spintronics with graphene quantum dots Guest Editors: Pawel Hawrylak, François Peeters, and Klaus Ensslin

Phys. Status Solidi RRL 10(1), 1–124 (2016), DOI 10.1002/pssr.2016.v10.1

This special issue covers the current status of graphene quantum dots, starting with their electronicproperties, spintronics implemented through sublattice engineering and optical properties of gra-phene nanodevices. The goal is to summarize what is currently known about electronic propertiesof graphene quantum dots, what is needed to make further progress, how one can realize differentfunctionalities and stimulate research toward their integration. The ultimate goal would be the rea-lization of a graphene based quantum circuit.

Coming soon Special section: Topological defects in ferroic materials Guest Editors: Vincent Cros, Joo-Von Kim, and Marty Gregg

Phys. Status Solidi RRL 10(3), (2016), DOI 10.1002/pssr.2016.v10.3

Topological defects in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials have attracted much attention bothas a playground of unique physical phenomena but also for potential applications in electronic de-vices such as reconfigurable memories or logic based devices. This special section aims at cover-ing the different topics related to this new branch of condensed matter physics – domain walls,vortices, skyrmions and beyond.
