Photoluminescence and Recombination Mechanisms in Nitride-Based Multiple Quantum Wells

Article Preview

Abstract:

The InGaN/AlGaN multiple-quantum-well heterostructures were fabricated by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system with different indium and aluminum content during the growth of InGaN well layers and AlGaN barrier layers. Temperature-and incident-power-dependent photoluminescence were carried out to examine the recombination mechanisms in the heterostructures. Both of the localization effect and quantum-confined Stark effect are considered. From the experimental and theoretical analysis, the dependence of optical characteristics on the temperature and incident-power are consistent with the recombination mechanisms involving band-tail states and the screen of quantum-confined Stark effect.
