Popis: Barrier height at the interface between metal and polar AlxGa1−xN (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) epitaxial films was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and interface induced gap states (IFIGS) model. The opposite nature of polarization charge yields a significantly lower barrier height in N-polar AlxGa1−xN surface compared to the III-polar counterpart. Accordingly, IFIGS model indicate that III-polar AlxGa1−xN films are advantageous for Schottky contact formation for x
