Photoluminescence microscopy of InGaN quantum wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Submicron spatial resolution photoluminescence is used to assess radiative efficiency and spatial uniformity of GaN/InGaN heterojunctions. Room temperature photoluminescence of multiple InGaN quantum wells with GaN barriers fabricated by electron-cyclotron resonance assisted molecular beam epitaxy was measured as a function of position on a facet perpendicular to the layer structure. Our high resolution studies reveal that the radiative recombination for the InGaN quantum wells is 50–60 times more efficient than for the underlying GaN film. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~97!00111-3#

Sub-microscopic transient lens spectroscopy of InGaN/GaN quantum wells
Transient lens (TL) spectroscopy was developed with sub-micrometer spatial resolution to observe the temporal and special behavior of the nonradiative processes of carrier dynamics in InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QW). We have observed the carrier density dynamics and the thermal dynamics in the TL signals with a nanosecond pulsed laser. We have also observed TL and photoluminescence (PL) signals by...

Epitaxial lateral overgrowth of gallium nitride with 1 1 2̄ 2 facets was realized by metal organic chemical vapor deposition on GaN/ sapphire (0 0 0 1) substrates with SiO2 stripe mask. After wet etching of the mask, periodic multiple quantum wells (MQWs) InGaN/GaN structures were grown on the whole surface. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that a higher growth rate ...
متن کاملCharacterization of high-quality InGaN/GaN multiquantum wells with time-resolved photoluminescence
Recombination in single quantum well and multiquantum well InGaN/GaN structures is studied using time-resolved photoluminescence and pulsed photoluminescence measurements. Room-temperature measurements show a rapid lifetime ~0.06 ns! for a single quantum well structure, while an increasingly long decay lifetime is measured for multiquantum wells as more quantum wells are incorporated into the s...
متن کاملInvestigating carrier localization and transfer in InGaN/GaN quantum wells with V-pits using near-field scanning optical microscopy and correlation analysis
The V-pits and potential fluctuations in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are key factors for understanding the performance of InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, photoluminescence (PL) measurements using conventional optical microscopy only provide ensemble information due to the spatial resolution limit, known as the diffraction barrier, which hinders the analysis of...
متن کاملRecombination mechanism of InGaN multiple quantum wells grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
A series of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells with different well thicknesses were grown on sapphire by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, and investigated by excitation power density dependent photoluminescence (PL). With increasing excitation power density, the PL peak position showed a blue shift followed by a red shift. It is believed that a screened quantum-confined Stark effect is re...
