Auger Recombination in Semiconductor Quantum Wells
The principal mechanisms of Auger recombination of nonequilibrium carriers in semiconductor heterostructures with quantum wells are investigated. It is shown for the first time that there exist three fundamentally different Auger recombination mechanisms of (i) thresholdless, (ii) quasi-threshold, and (iii) threshold types. The rate of the thresholdless Auger process depends on temperature only...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Effect of Recombination on Superluminescent Light-Emitting Diode Output Power Based on Nitride Pyramid Quantum Dots
In this article, the temperature behavior of output power of superluminescent light-emitting diode (SLED) by considering the effect of non-radiative recombination coefficient, non-radiative spontaneous emission coefficient and Auger recombination coefficients has been investigated. For this aim, GaN pyramidal quantum dots were used as the active region. The numerical method has been used to sol...
متن کاملDesign of a new asymmetric waveguide in InP-Based multi-quantum well laser
Today, electron leakage in InP-based separate confinement laser diode has a serious effect on device performance. Control of electron leakage current is the aim of many studies in semiconductor laser industry. In this study, for the first time, a new asymmetric waveguide structure with n-interlayer for a 1.325 μm InP-based laser diode with InGaAsP multi-quantum well is proposed and theoreticall...
متن کاملبررسی رفتار دمایی طیف گسیلی چاههای کوانتومی آلایش یافته با کمک مدل LSE
Thermal variation of PL peak energy of undoped nitride semiconductor quantum well shows a successive red-blue-red shifted emission (S-shaped behavior). This behavior has been attributed to the localization of excitons at the energy minima induced by the potential fluctuations in the quantum well structure and/or interface roughness. The S-shaped behavior of PL peak position, the thermal variati...
متن کاملStark-effect scattering in rough quantum wells
A scattering mechanism stemming from the Stark-shift of energy levels by electric fields due to interface roughness in semiconductor quantum wells is identified. This scattering mechanism feeds off interface roughness and electric fields and modifies the well known “sixth-power” law of electron mobility degradation. This work first treats Stark-effect scattering in rough quantum wells as a pert...
