ABSTRACTA photoluminescence from a multiquantum GaN/InxGa1−xN/GaN well structure (x varies between 0.1 to 0.4) was investigated at various temperatures, pumping powers. While the temperature dependence of the peak position indicates normal band to band character of radiative recombination, the large pumping power induced “blue”shift of the peak position (up to 200 meV) can be observed. This kind of shift cannot be easily explained by the band tailing effect but is most likely the result of the screening of the strain-induced piezoelectric field. By evaluating the theoretical values of the piezoelectric filelds in the quantum well, we can show that in order to account for the experimental results we have to assume the partial relaxation of the strain.

Abstract In this paper we review the recent studies on wide InGaN quantum wells (QWs). InGaN QWs are known to suffer from an extremely high built-in piezoelectric polarization, which separates the electron and hole wavefunctions and causes the quantum-confined Stark effect. It is shown, both by means of modeling and experimentally, that wide InGaN QWs can have quantum efficiency superior to commonly used thin QWs. The high efficiency is explained by initial screening of the piezoelectric field and subsequent emergence of optical transitions involving the excited states of electrons and holes, which have a high oscillator strength. A high pressure spectroscopy and photocurrent measurements are used to verify the mechanism of recombination through excited states. Furthermore, the influence of QW width on the properties of optoelectronic devices is studied. In particular, it is shown how the optical gain forms in laser diodes with wide InGaN QWs.
