摘要: The Auger recombination coefficient in quasi-bulk In x Ga 1− x N (x∼ 9%–15%) layers grown on GaN (0001) is measured by a photoluminescence technique. The samples vary in InN composition, thickness, and threading dislocation density. Throughout this sample set, the measured Auger coefficient ranges from 1.4× 10− 30 to 2.0× 10− 30 cm 6 s− 1. The authors argue that an Auger coefficient of this magnitude, combined with the high carrier densities reached in blue and green In Ga N∕ Ga N (0001) quantum well light-emitting …
