DETAILED DESCRIPTION The compositions, methods, and devices described herein may be understood more readily by reference to the following detailed description of specific aspects of the disclosed subject matter and the Examples included therein. Before the present compositions, methods, and devices are disclosed and described, it is to be understood that the aspects described below are not limited to specific synthetic methods or specific reagents, as such may, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular aspects only and is not intended to be limiting. Also, throughout this specification, various publications are referenced. The disclosures of these publications in their entireties are hereby incorporated by reference into this application in order to more fully describe the state of the art to which the disclosed matter pertains. The references disclosed are also individually and specifically incorporated by reference herein for the material contained in them that is discussed in the sentence in which the reference is relied upon. In this specification and in the claims that follow, reference will be made to a number of terms, which shall be defined to have the following meanings. Throughout the description and claims of this specification the word “comprise” and other forms of the word, such as “comprising” and “comprises,” means including but not limited to, and is not intended to exclude, for example, other additives, components, integers, or steps. As used in the description and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a composition” includes mixtures of two or more such compositions, reference to “an agent” includes mixtures of two or more such agents, reference to “the component” includes mixtures of two or more such components, and the like. “Optional” or “optionally” means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can or cannot occur, and that the description includes instances where the event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not. Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and / or to “about” another particular value. By “about” is meant within 5% of the value, e.g., within 4, 3, 2, or 1% of the value. When such a range is expressed, another aspect includes from the one particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another aspect. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. Values can be expressed herein as an “average” value. “Average” generally refers to the statistical mean value. By “substantially” is meant within 5%, e.g., within 4%, 3%, 2%, or 1%. “Exemplary” means “an example of” and is not intended to convey an indication of a preferred or ideal embodiment. “Such as” is not used in a restrictive sense, but for explanatory purposes. It is understood that throughout this specification the identifiers “first” and “second” are used solely to aid in distinguishing the various components and steps of the disclosed subject matter. The identifiers “first” and “second” are not intended to imply any particular order, amount, preference, or importance to the components or steps modified by these terms. References in the specification and concluding claims to parts by weight of a particular element or component in a composition denotes the weight relationship between the element or component and any other elements or components in the composition or article for which a part by weight is expressed. Thus, in a compound containing 2 parts by weight of component X and 5 parts by weight component Y, X and Y are present at a weight ratio of 2:5, and are present in such ratio regardless of whether additional components are contained in the compound. A weight percent (wt. %) of a component, unless specifically stated to the contrary, is based on the total weight of the formulation or composition in which the component is included. The term “or combinations thereof” as used herein refers to all permutations and combinations of the listed items preceding the term. For example, “A, B, C, or combinations thereof” is intended to include at least one of: A, B, C, AB, AC, BC, or ABC, and if order is important in a particular context, also BA, CA, CB, CBA, BCA, ACB, BAC, or CAB. Continuing with this example, expressly included are combinations that contain repeats of one or more item or term, such as BB, AAA, AB, BBC, AAABCCCC, CBBAAA, CABABB, and so forth. The skilled artisan will understand that typically there is no limit on the number of items or terms in any combination, unless otherwise apparent from the context.

These examples are not intended to be inclusive of all aspects of the subject matter disclosed herein, but rather to illustrate representative methods and results. These examples are not intended to exclude equivalents and variations of the present invention which are apparent to one skilled in the art. Efforts have been made to ensure accuracy with respect to numbers (e.g., amounts, temperature, etc.) but some errors and deviations should be accounted for. Unless indicated otherwise, parts are parts by weight, temperature is in °C or is at ambient temperature, and pressure is at or near atmospheric. There are numerous variations and combinations of measurement conditions, e.g., component concentrations, temperatures, pressures and other measurement ranges and conditions that can be used to optimize the described process. Example 1 - Ultrawide bandgap oxide semiconductor LiGaO2with p-type conductivity for power device applications Beta phase gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) with an ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) of ~ 4.8 eV has emerged as a promising semiconductor candidate for power electronic devices. Its predicted high critical field strength (~ 8 MV / cm) and the availability of scalable high quality Ga2O3 substrates synthesized from melt present Ga2O3as a promising semiconductor for power electronic devices with high power density. While Ga2O3 stands out as a promising UWBG semiconductor material for next generation high power and high frequency electronic and optoelectronic applications, there exist certain limitations of the material that need to be addressed in order to fully maximize its potential. The lack of p-type conductivity could be a major setback for Ga2O3device design. It is theoretically calculated that all major acceptor candidates for β-Ga2O3 act as deep acceptors (Lyons JL. Semiconductor science and technology, 2018, 33(5), 05LT02; Neal AT et al. Applied Physics Letters, 2018, 113(6), 062101), indicating a very low activation efficiency and a trap- like behavior of the acceptors. Additionally, it is also theoretically predicted that, the holes in many oxides (Ga2O3, In2O3, SnO2, MgO) prefer the localized, self-trapped form of polarons around O-site due to the characteristic lattice distortion (Varley JB et al. Physical Review B, 2012, 85(8), 081109). Even if there are activated holes, the conductivity of such holes will be extremely low, prohibiting the p-type conductivity in such materials. One approach to address the issue of the lack of p-type Ga2O3is to form hetero pn junction using alternative p-type materials. In recent developments, p-type nickel oxide (NiO, with a bandgap of 3.4-4 eV) has been employed to create p-n junction diodes with β-Ga2O3 (Kokubun Y et al. Appl. Phys. Express, 2016, 9(9), 091101). NiO / Ga2O3p-n diodes have attained multi-kilovolt breakdown voltage (BV) and low differential specific on-resistance (RON,SP) (Lu X et al. IEEE Electron Device Lett.2020, 41(3), 449–452; Wang Y et al. IEEE Trans. Power Electron.2022, 37(4), 3743–3746; Wang B et al. IEEE Electron Device Lett. 2023, 44(2), 221–224). However, the performance of these devices is limited by the relatively small bandgap of NiO. LiGaO2 with an optical gap larger than 5.3 eV has been considered as a transparent ceramic material for piezoelectric (Boonchun A et al. Phys. Rev. B, 2010, 81(23), 235214; Gupta SN et al. J. Appl. Phys.1976, 47(3), 858–860; Nanamatsu S et al. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys.1972, 11(6), 816) and nonlinear optical applications (Knoll P et al. Phys. Rev. B, 1984, 29(4), 2221– 2226; Rashkeev SN et al. JOSA B, 1999, 16(12), 2217–2222) in the past. LiGaO2has been grown in bulk single-crystal form (Ishii T et al. J. Cryst. Growth, 1998, 186(3), 409–419; Marezio M. Acta Crystallogr.1965, 18(3), 481–484), which was motivated to be used as a closely-lattice matched substrate for GaN epitaxy (Christensen A et al. IEEE Trans. Electron Devices, 2005, 52(8), 1683–1688; Doolittle WA et al. Solid-State Electron.2000, 44(2), 229– 238; Sakurada K et a. Appl. Phys. Lett.2007, 90(21), 211913; Chen C et al. J. Cryst. Growth 2014, 402, 325–329). LiGaO2 can be viewed as a I-III-VI2 analog of the II-VI material ZnO with a wurtzite-based crystal structure, comprising an ordered arrangement of the Li and Ga atoms on the cation sublattice of the wurtzite. In particular, it has the Pna21 space group as the ground state (β-LiGaO2). Mixed alloy systems of ZnO and LiGaO2 and ZnO / LiGaO2 heterojunctions have also been studied (Ohkubo I et al. J. Appl. Phys.2002, 92(9), 5587–5589; Omata T et al. J. Appl. Phys.2008, 103(8), 083706; Omata T et al. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys.2011, 50(3R), 031102). From the first principles calculations, it is possible that LiGaO2 can be n-type doped with Si or Ge, which would make it promising for ultrawide-gap semiconductor applications (Boonchun A et al. J. Appl. Phys.2019, 126(15), 155703; Boonchun A et al. Oxide-Based Mater. Devices II, SPIE, 2011, pp.129–134; Dabsamut K et al. J. Phys. Appl. Phys.2020, 53(27), 274002; Skachkov D et al. J. Phys. Appl. Phys.2020, 53(17), 17LT01). However, doping studies in LiGaO2are still lacking. Herein, an UWBG semiconductor Li-poor or Li-rich LiGaO2 with p-type conductivity is introduced. As an example, the Li-poor or Li-rich LiGaO2 can be obtained by mist chemical vapor deposition (mist-CVD) technique. Unintentionally doped Li-poor or Li-rich LiGaO2thin films are deposited using a custom-designed mist-CVD chamber on various substrates, including LiGaO2, GaN on c-plane sapphire templates, on-axis c-sapphire, off-axis c-sapphire, and Ga2O3 substrates. The source solutions are prepared by directly dissolving gallium acetylacetonate (Ga(acac)3, [CH3COCH=C(O-)CH3]3Ga, 99.99%) and lithium acetoacetate (C4H5LiO3, 97%) in deionized (DI) water. The Ga / Li molar ratio can be tuned to be <1, =1, or >1. The solutions are stirred at room temperature and ultrasonically atomized into spray or mist particles with an ultrasonic generator. The atomized particles are then delivered into a growth chamber using Argon (Ar) as the carrier gas. Growth substrates are loaded in the growth chamber and the growth temperature can be tuned widely between 600 and 1100°C, such as 600 – 1000 °C. Figure 1A-Figure 1D shows the surface morphology of the LiGaO2 samples grown on GaN-on-sapphire templates at different growth temperatures. The relatively small lattice mismatch (~ 2%) between GaN and LiGaO2 allows the growth of the film with high quality. It is confirmed from the corresponding AFM images shown in Figure 2A-Figure 2D that at the growth temperature of 900°C, the surface has a low surface roughness with RMS value of 1.6 nm. The thickness of the as-grown film at 900°C is estimated by cross-sectional SEM image to be around 750 nm, as is shown in Figure 3. The growth time is 30 minutes. A sharp interface between the grown film and GaN template can be observed. Figure 4 shows the XRD spectrum of the same sample. The XRD peaks at ~ 34.55°, 41.68°, and 72.86° are attributed to the GaN and sapphire peaks from the substrate template, while clear LiGaO2 (001) and (002) peaks at ~ 18.74° and 38.01° can be observed. Figure 5A-Figure 5D shows the plan-view SEM images of the LiGaO2samples grown at 850 °C on on-axis and 6°-offcut c-plane sapphire substrates, and the corresponding AFM images. The relatively rougher surface of the LiGaO2 sample grown on the on-axis c-sapphire substrate is attributed to the larger lattice mismatch between LiGaO2and sapphire (~5-12% depending on the growth direction). However, it is worth noting that with the use of offcut sapphire substrates, the surface morphology shows much smoother surface with RMS value of 1.48 nm. Room temperature van der Pauw Hall measurements of the LiGaO2films grown on c- sapphire substrate indicate robust p-type conductivity, with room temperature doping concentration of low-mid 1017cm-3and mobility of 2-5 cm2 / Vs. Figure 6A-Figure 6B shows the AFM images of LiGaO2 samples grown at 850 °C on (010) (Figure 6A) and (001) (Figure 6B) Ga2O3substrates. For the sample grown on (010) Ga2O3 substrate, the room temperature Hall measurement shows p-type doping of low-1016cm-3with hole mobility of 1-10 cm2 / Vs. For the sample grown on (001) Ga2O3 substrate, the room temperature Hall measurement shows p-type doping of low-mid 1017cm-3with hole mobility of 1-3 cm2 / Vs. XPS measurement performed on LiGaO2 grown on GaN-on-sapphire and sapphire substrates indicate that the Li to Ga atomic composition ratio is less than 1 (Figure 7). This indicates that the grown LiGaO2films are Li poor. Depending on the growth condition and the choice of the substrate, the Li to Ga atomic ratio can vary between 0 to 1. With the successful demonstration of p-type conductivity of Li poor LiGaO2, multiple device designs are proposed for power device applications. Figure 8A represents a vertical PN diodes based on n--Ga2O3drift layer, n+-Ga2O3substrate and p-LiGaO2layer. Figure 8B represents a LiGaO2-Ga2O3 MOSFET. Figure 8C represents a LiGaO2-Ga2O3 trench MOSFET. Figure 8D represents a LiGaO2-Ga2O3 current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET). In these designs, the key structure is based on the n-Ga2O3 / p-LiGaO2heterojunction. Example 2 - Ultra-Wide Bandgap Oxide Semiconductor With P-Type Conductivity Beta-Gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) has emerged as a promising material for future power devices due to its ultrawide bandgap (~4.9 eV), high critical electric field (EC), controllable doping, and availability of high quality, large-diameter wafers (Pearton SJ et al. Appl. Phys. Rev. 2018, 5(1), 011301). While n-type β-Ga2O3 can be readily obtained through Si or Sn doping, the existence of p-type β-Ga2O3remains undocumented. One potential approach to create β-Ga2O3devices with a p-n junction involves using a heterojunction between β-Ga2O3and another p-type semiconductor. An oxide material is preferred as the p-type semiconductor in this scenario, as it prevents interfacial oxidation reactions that would occur with non-oxide materials, enabling more efficient device fabrication methods. Recent developments have employed p-type nickel oxide (with a bandgap of 3.4-4 eV) to form p-n junction diodes with β-Ga2O3 (Kokubun Y et al. Appl. Phys. Express 2016, 9(9), 091101). Since the initial report, NiO / Ga2O3 p-n diodes have achieved multi-kilovolt breakdown voltage (BV) and low differential specific on-resistance (RON,SP) (Lu X et al. IEEE Electron Device Lett.2020, 41(3), 449–452; Wang Y et al. IEEE Trans. Power Electron.2022, 37(4), 3743–3746; Wang B et al. IEEE Electron Device Lett. 2023, 44(2), 221–224). However, the performance of these devices is significantly limited by the comparatively smaller bandgap of NiO. Recently, there has been renewed interest in LiGaO2 as a potential ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor material. LiGaO2 is a transparent ceramic material that has previously been explored for its applications in piezoelectric and nonlinear optical fields (Boonchun A et al. Phys. Rev. B 2010, 81(23), 23521; Gupta SN et al. J. Appl. Phys.1976, 47(3), 858–860; Nanamatsu S et al. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys.1972, 11(6), 816; Knoll P et al. Phys. Rev. B 1984, 29(4), 2221–2226; Rashkeev SN et al. JOSA B 1999, 16(12), 2217–2222). It can be grown as a bulk single crystal, making it suitable as a lattice-matched substrate for GaN epitaxial growth (Ishii T et al. J. Cryst. Growth 1998, 186(3), 409–419; Marezio M. Acta Crystallogr.1965, 18(3), 481– 484; Christensen A et al. IEEE Trans. Electron Devices 2005, 52(8), 1683–1688; Doolittle WA et al. Solid-State Electron.2000, 44(2), 229–238; Sakurada K et al. Appl. Phys. Lett.2007, 90(21), 211913; Chen C et al. J. Cryst. Growth 2014, 402, 325–329). LiGaO2 possesses a wurtzite-based crystal structure and can be viewed as an I-III-VI2analog of the II-VI material ZnO. The crystal structure features an ordered arrangement of Li and Ga atoms on the cation sublattice of the wurtzite, with the ground state represented by the Pna21space group (β- LiGaO2). Furthermore, studies have examined mixed alloy systems of ZnO and LiGaO2, as well as ZnO / LiGaO2 heterojunctions (Ohkubo I et al. J. Appl. Phys.2002, 92(9), 5587–5589; Omata T et al. J. Appl. Phys.2008, 103(8), 083706; Omata T et al. Jpn. J. Appl. Phys.2011, 50(3R), 031102). Recent studies suggest that LiGaO2 can be doped n-type with Si or Ge, which holds promise for ultrawide-gap semiconductor applications (Boonchun A et al. J. Appl. Phys.2019, 126(15), 155703; Boonchun A et al. Oxide-Based Mater. Devices II, SPIE, 2011, pp.129–134; Dabsamut K et al. J. Phys. Appl. Phys.2020, 53(27), 274002; Lenyk CA et al. J. Appl. Phys. 2018, 124(13), 135702; Skachkov D et al. J. Phys. Appl. Phys.2020, 53(17), 17LT01). From this perspective, LiGaO2may offer certain advantages compared to β-Ga2O3, such as its simpler tetrahedrally coordinated crystal structure and potentially even wider bandgap. Herein, an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor called LixGayOz is introduced, which exhibits high p-type conductivity. The materials were obtained using a customized mist chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique. Unintentionally doped LixGayOzthin films can be deposited on GaN-on-sapphire templates, as well as on on-axis and offcut c-sapphire substrates using the mist-CVD chamber. To prepare the source solutions, Gallium acetylacetonate (Ga(acac)3, [CH3COCH=C(O-)CH3]3Ga, 99.99%) and lithium acetoacetate (C4H5LiO3, 99.95%) are dissolved in deionized (DI) water, with a Ga / Li molar ratio of approximately 1. The solutions are used to generate atomized particles via an ultrasonic generator operating at 1.7 MHz. The atomized particles are then delivered into a growth chamber using Argon (Ar) as the carrier gas. Growth substrates are loaded in the growth chamber and the growth temperature can be tuned widely between 800 – 1000°C. Through a series of material characterization techniques, it was confirmed that the films grown on the respective substrates exhibited a spinel-cubic structure known as LiGa5O8. The p-type conductive films were found to have a composition rich in Li. LiGa5O8 is a complex oxide compound that belongs to the spinel family of compounds and has an isostructural relationship with the MgAl2O4 spinel. Its crystal structure is characterized by a lattice constant of a = 8.203 Å and space group P4_332�. In this structure the Li+ions in LiGa5O8 are coordinated to six equivalent O2-ions, resulting in the formation of LiO6 octahedra. These octahedra share corners with six equivalent GaO4tetrahedra and edges with six equivalent GaO6octahedra, giving rise to the overall crystalline structure of LiGa5O8(Áhman J et al. Acta Chem. Scand.1996, 50(5), 391–394). LiGa5O8 has been the subject of considerable research interest due to its intriguing luminescent properties, particularly when doped with transition metals (MT) or rare earth (RE) impurities (Liu F et al. Sci. Rep.2013, 3(1), 1554; Ao L et al. J. Eur. Ceram. Soc.2020, 40(15), 5498–5503; Sousa Om et al. J. Solid State Chem.2020, 289, 121472). For instance, when doped with Cr3+, it exhibits persistent luminescence properties and holds promise for biomedical imaging applications. The structural, electronic, and optical properties of both undoped and Cr3+- doped LiGa5O8have been investigated via density functional theory (DFT) (Sousa Om et al. J. Solid State Chem.2020, 289, 121472; De Sousa OM et al. Comput. Theor. Chem.2018, 1123, 96–101). Theoretical calculations suggest a bandgap of approximately 5.7 eV, which renders LiGa5O8a potential ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor. However, to date, there have been no experimental reports on thin film growth of undoped LiGa5O8. Herein, the CVD growth of Li-rich LiGa5O8 that exhibits p-type conductivity is demonstrated. This is an important discovery as there does not exist an ultrawide bandgap oxide semiconductor that has been demonstrated with p-type conductivity. Figure 9A-Figure 9D shows the surface morphology of LiGa5O8 samples grown on GaN on sapphire templates at different growth temperatures. It is confirmed with the corresponding AFM images as shown in Figure 10A-Figure 10D that at the growth temperature of 900°C, the smoothest surface is achieved. The surface roughness RMS is determined to be around 1.60 nm. The thickness of the as-grown film at 900°C is measured by cross-sectional TEM image to be around 60 nm, as shown in Figure 11A. A sharp interface between the grown film and GaN layer can be observed. The spinel cubic structure of the as-grown film is also shown by the atomic resolution HAADF STEM image in Figure 11B. Figure 12 shows the XRD spectrum of the same sample. The XRD peaks at around 34.55°, 41.68° and 72.86° are attributed to the GaN and sapphire peaks from the substrate, while possible LiGa5O8(511) peaks at around 58.46° can be observed. Note that other peaks at around 18.74° and 38.01° are also noticeable, indicating the existence of possible rotated crystal domains in the as-grown film. Similar surface morphology can be observed on LiGa5O8samples grown on co-loaded c- sapphire substrates. Figure 13A-Figure 13D shows the plan-view SEM images of the LiGa5O8 sample grown at 850°C on on-axis and 6°-offcut c-plane sapphire substrates as well as the corresponding AFM images. It is worth noticing that with the use of offcut angles, better surface morphology can be achieved for the films grown on sapphire substrates. Cross-sectional TEM imaging and atomic resolution HAADF STEM image of the sample grown on on-axis c-sapphire substrate, as is shown in Figure 14A-Figure 14B, confirm a film thickness of around 96 nm and the same spinel cubic structure as the samples grown on GaN templates. Hall measurement suggests a robust p-type conductivity for this sample, as is shown in Table 1. Table 1. Hall measurement results of LiGa5O8samples grown on on-axis c-sapphire substrate at 850°C. The atomic compositions of the as-grown films were examined using X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The acquired Li 1s, Ga 3s and O 1s peaks from LiGa5O8film grown on GaN on sapphire template at 900°C are shown in Figure 15 as an example. The curves are fitted with a Voigt peak shape and a Shirley background is assumed. The atomic ratio of Li / Ga, Li / O and Ga / O are then derived using the fitting peak areas. As is shown in Table 2, the samples grown on all three substrates show a ratio of ~1:5:8 for Li / Ga / O with Li being compositional rich. Additionally, the rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) and nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) measurements on the sample grown on on-axis c-sapphire substrate at 900°C also confirm its composition being rich in Li. The contents of Li, Ga, and O were determined to be approximately 9.5%, 33%, and 57.5%, respectively. Table 2. Li / Ga, Li / O, and Ga / O ratio estimated from XPS measurement results using the peak areas of Li 1s, Ga 3s, and O 1s peaks for LiGa5O8samples grown with different conditions. With the successful demonstration of p-type conductivity of Li rich LiGa5O8, multiple device designs are proposed for power device applications. Figure 16A represents a vertical PN diodes based on n--Ga2O3drift layer, n+-Ga2O3substrate and p-LiGa5O8layer. Figure 16B represents a LiGa5O8-Ga2O3 MOSFET. Figure 16C represents a LiGa5O8-Ga2O3 trench MOSFET. Figure 16D represents a LiGa5O8-Ga2O3 current aperture vertical electron transistor (CAVET). In these designs, the key structure is based on the n-Ga2O3 / p-LiGa5O8heterojunctions.
