We report the determination of Auger recombination coefficients in bulk and quantum well InGaAs by time-resolved luminescence measurements. In bulk InGaAs the coefficient is C=3.2×10−28 cm6/s and has the temperature dependence of the valence-band Auger effect involving the split-off valence band. In 11 nm quantum well InGaAs we find C=0.9×10−28 cm6/s, independent of temperature. The Auger coefficient decreases slightly with decreasing well width.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
