摘要: A set of GaN/AlxGa1−xN(x≈0.2) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with well widths, Lw, varying from 6 to 48 has been grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition under the optimal GaN-like growth conditions. Picosecond time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy employed probe well-width dependence efficiencies (QE) these MQWs. Our results have shown that GaN/AlGaN MQW structures exhibit negligibly small piezoelectric effects and hence enhanced QE. Furthermore, GaN/AlxGa1−xN MQWs Lw between 12 42 were observed provide highest QE, which can be attributed reduced nonradiative recombination rate as improved quantum-well quality. The decreased QE in 42 A is associated an increased approaching critical thickness implications our re...
