Polarization and electron affinity changes at Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN and In0.05Ga0.95N/Al0.06Ga0.94N interfaces are quantified by combining off-axis electron holography in transmission electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy, and simulations of the electrostatic potential and electron phase maps. The In0.05Ga0.95N/Al0.06Ga0.94N interface reveals, as expected, biaxial relaxation as well as polarization and electron affinity changes. However, at the Al0.06Ga0.94N/GaN interface anomalous lattice relaxations and vanishing polarization and electron affinity changes occur, whose underlying physical origin is anticipated to be total energy minimization by the minimization of Coulomb interactions between the polarization-induced interface charges.
