Phonon emission by photoexcited carriers in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells

چکیده
The effect of well width on both the photoluminescence (PL) and phonon emission in optically excited InGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) samples has been investigated. For narrow MQW samples (w < 2.5 nm), the lowtemperature PL quantum efficiency is close to unity with the phonon emission being due mainly to carrier relaxation in the QWs. For wider MQWs samples the PL quantum efficiency is reduced and the intensity of the phonon emission increases. We explain this in terms of the non-radiative recombination processes in the QWs which result in phonon emission and compete with the radiative process.

Terahertz study of ultrafast carrier dynamics in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells
Ultrafast carrier dynamics in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells is measured by time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy. The built-in piezoelectric field is initially screened by photoexcited, polarized carriers, and is gradullay restored as the carriers recombine. We observe a nonexponential decay of the carrier density. Time-integrated photoluminescence spectra have shown a complete screening of t...

Photoinduced carrier dynamics in a sequence of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are studied by employing steady state and ultrafast spectroscopy at room temperature. Time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measured short carrier lifetimes of ,140 ps at room temperature. Steady state differential transmission was used to measure the in-well field screening due to the photoinjected carriers. ...
متن کاملEmission dynamics of red emitting InGaN/GaN single quantum wells
Emission dynamics of two InGaN/GaN single quantum well red emitters were investigated through timeresolved photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A clear phase separation, where a higher energy (blue) emission and a lower energy (red) emission appear simultaneously, was observed. The maximum position of blue emission is consistent with the bandgap value of the InGaN quantum well. As the time afte...

Two-dimensional InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-wells (MQW) LED structure was nanotextured into quasi-one-dimensional nanowires (NWs) with different average diameters with a combination approach of Ni nanoislands as mask + dry etching. Such nanotexturing bring out several appealing effects including deeper localization of carriers and significant improvement in quantum efficiency (e.g., from 4.76% o...
