摘要: GaInN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown on different crystal facets have been investigated by field-dependent photoluminescence and electroluminescence experiments. Externally applied voltage changes the total field strength direction of electric fields inside wells, consisting piezoelectric built-in fields. Electroluminescence with increasing current results in a peak shift due to screening injected carriers. By modeling shifts (PL) (EL) signals we found strong for {0001} sample nearly vanishing {1-101} plane GaN.
