The air pollution is increasing day by day at
an alarming rate on global scale. According to WHO
(World Health Organization) report, more than 80%
of the world urban populations are exposed to air
quality that exceeds WHO standard levels. The air
pollution comprises of number of pollutants such as
Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen oxides (NOx),
Ozone (O3), particulate matter (small suspended
particles of varying sizes), Carbon monoxide (CO)
and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

It is our pleasure to present this issue of
News letter. III-nitrides semiconductor including
GaN, InN, AlN, InGaN, AlGaN and AlInGaN are
promising materials, covering the spectral range from
deep ultraviolet (UV) to infrared, with unique
properties suitable for advanced electronic and
optoelectronic applications.

We have the pleasure of presenting this
issue with the worldwide news of discovery of ‘time
crystals’. Nature loves symmetry and it is fascinating
to the humankind from the beginning of the
civilization. From James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of
electromagnetism to Einstein’s General theory of
relativity, symmetry is found in the physical laws
including time symmetry that never breaks.

We are happy to present the third issue of
Semiconductor News, an e-newsletter of SSI. In the
last issue, the work on vertical standing GaN
nanorods based Schottky diodes was reported. GaN is
a promising material for power electronics and
optoelectronic devices. Recently IIT Delhi and SSI
organized a workshop on growth and fabrication of
GaN based electronic and optoelectronic devices
where scientists from premier institutions and
laboratories presented their research work. This year
SSPL (DRDO) and IIT Delhi will jointly organize
19th International Workshop on Physics of
Semiconductor Devices (IWPSD), which will be a
golden opportunity for researchers and scientists to
present their work and exchange ideas in the field of
semiconductor materials and devices.
