ABSTRACTFrom admittance spectroscopy measurements on poly(p-phenylene vinylene) based light-emitting diodes various relaxation processes can be observed. At low bias inductive contributions due to the transit of charge carriers dominate, at high bias capacitive contributions as a result of charge redistribution appears. These processes reveal a transition from space-charge limited to recombination limited behavior, as is also indicated by the current-voltage characteristics.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the electrical properties of Polymer Light Emitting Diodes (LED's). The experimental data consists of steady state current-voltage characteristics and radiance as a function of temperature.The basic LED structure is Anode/MEH-PPV (2-methoxy,5-(2'-ethyl-hexyloxy)-l,4-phenylene vinylene)/Cathode, with a polymer film 120-140 nm thick. We use different anode/cathode pairs to study transport and light emission properties. Measurements of external quantum efficiency of bipolar and monopolar devices are presented from 200 K to 300 K. The electron and hole mobilities are derived in the trap-free limit and at high voltages.

AbstractWe report on the fabrication and characterisation gallium nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) oriented sapphire and (111)B GaAs substrates. The current voltage characteristics of the devices grown on sapphire show turn on voltages of between 4 and 5V with large on-series resistance of 600Ω; for corresponding devices grown on GaAs these parameters are between 6 and 7V and 150 Ω, respectively.Room temperature electroluminescence (EL) spectra from the GaN LEDs ,grown on sapphire substrates, show a dominant emission at 3.2 eV (397nm) with a full width half maximum (FWHM) of 335 meV which is attributed to free electron to acceptor transitions (e, A−Mg). A broad low intensity deep level emission is also observed centred at 2.4 eV (506nm). The peak of the EL from the devices grown on GaAs is at 3.1eV rather than 3.2eV. The differences between the two sets of devices are probably caused by the different device geometry.Preliminary results show that an “annealing” effect caused by electrical stressing resulted in an improvement of the EL spectra. The stressed samples show an increase in the near band edge emission intensity, a 20meV reduction in the FWHM and a significant reduction in the intensity of the deep level emission. The devices have a large 1/f noise contribution which does not appear to change after electrical stressing.

Nd-doped semiconductor light-emitting diodes were fabricated by implanting Nd ions into a GaAs epi-layer. The fabricated GaAs:Nd diodes show good current-voltage characteristics with a typical reverse breakdown voltage between 8 and 12 V By injecting minority carriers into the diodes, Nd3+ related emissions were observed, at 77 K, in the 0.92, 1.11, and 1.3 μm regions. These electroluminescence signals correspond to the transitions from Nd3+4F3/2 state to the Nd3+4I9/2, 4I1/2, and 4I13/2 states, respectively. The measured external quantum efficiency of the GaAs:Nd diodes at 77 K, was 5 × 10−7.
