An In-defect complex as a possible explanation for high luminous efficacy of InGaN and AlInN based devices

چکیده
The role of indium in GaN and AlN films is investigated with the method of the perturbed angular correlation (PAC). Using the PAC probe 111In in addition to indium on substitutional cation sites a large fraction of probes is found in a distinctly different microscopic environment which was attributed to the formation of an indium nitrogen-vacancy (VN) complex. The influence of an electron capture induced after ef fect is ruled out by additional measurements with the PAC probes 111mCd and 117Cd and using GaN with different dopants. It is shown that the VN is not bound to substitutional Cd impurities suggesting that the In-VN complex formation is a particularity of In in GaN and AlN. Finally, a preliminary model is presented to explain the temperature behavior of the electric field gradient, observed in the In-VN complex measured with 111In.

متن کاملSpectral and Luminous Efficacy Change of High-power LEDs Under Different Dimming Methods
Dimming is an important and necessary feature for light sources used in general lighting applications. An experimental study was conducted to quantify the spectral and luminous efficacy change of high-power colored and pc-white LEDs under continuous current reduction (CCR) and pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming schemes. For InGaN-based blue, green, and pc-white LEDs, the peak wavelength shift...

A high-quality white light source requires high luminous efficacy (lumens per input watt). Theoretically, in the “greenyellow” spectral region (with a peak wavelength at around 555 nm), the luminous efficiency (lumens per radiant watt) reaches a maximum based on the luminous efficiency function, V(λ), and can potentially generate high luminous efficacy. Unfortunately, the light-emitting diode (...
