Near-field investigation of spatial variations of ð20 2 1Þ InGaN quantum well emission spectra
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scanning near-field optical spectroscopy was applied to semipolar ð20 2 1Þ InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) to evaluate spatial homogeneity of QW band gap and its dependence on the growth conditions. In the most uniform QW, photoluminescence (PL) spectra were found to be narrow with small peak wavelength and spectral width variations. A QW grown at reduced temperature showed sub-micrometer size PL features aligned along the a axis and caused by nonuniform In incorporation at surface undulations. At extended defects, complex and strongly varying near-field spectra were observed and tentatively assigned to QW segments of different orientations around these defects. VC 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

Atomic-scale nanofacet structure in semipolar ð20 2 1Þ and ð20 21Þ InGaN single quantum wells
Atomic-scale nanofacets were observed in semipolar ð20 2 1Þ and ð20 21Þ InGaN quantum wells (QWs)/GaN quantum barriers interfaces. Transmission electron microscopy studies showed that these nanofacets were mainly composed of ð10 10Þ, ð10 1 1Þ; and ð10 11Þ planes, which led to significant fluctuations in QW thickness. Atom probe tomography studies were carried out to visualize the nanofacet stru...

Excitonic field screening and bleaching in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells
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 کاملSpatial Inhomogeneity of Photoluminescence in InGaN Single Quantum Well Structures
Spatial distribution of photoluminescence (PL) spectra has been assessed in an InGaN single quantum well (SQW) structure by means of fluorescence microscopy and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) under illumination-collection mode. The PL intensity of fluorescence image is uniform at 77 K, but the dark spot areas were extended with increasing temperature. The nearfield PL images reve...

In this paper, we investigate variation of the wavelength, intensity and polarization of the self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots emission by microphotoluminescence spectroscopy at the liquid helium temperature. The microcavity wafer sample is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and chemically etched into the micropillar structure (with elliptical cross section - long and short axis 2µm×1.5µ...
