摘要: In InGaN quantum well based light-emitting diodes, Auger recombination is believed to limit the efficiency at high injection currents. Here, we report direct observation of carrier loss from on a sub-picosecond timescale in single using time-resolved photoemission. Selective excitations different valence sub-bands reveal that rate constant decreases by two orders magnitude as effective hole mass decreases, confirming critical role momentum conservation.
