Optical properties of heavily dopedGaN/(Al,Ga)Nmultipl

Abstract: We study, both experimentally and theoretically, the influence of polarization-induced electric fields on the optical properties of heavily doped (7ϫ10 18 cm Ϫ3 ) GaN/͑Al,Ga͒N multiple-quantum-well structures. To investigate the impact of the strain state on the transition energy, these heterostructures are deposited on either a GaN or an ͑Al,Ga͒N relaxed buffer layer. Furthermore, we show that the recombination dynamics in these heavily doped multiple quantum wells is still controlled by residual electric fie… Show more

“…One explanation for this difference could be in a difference of internal electric fields, which Paskov et al 22 did not consider when discussing the hole escape from the Coulomb binding. Such fields, which could arise from different doping concentrations 25 or different distances between successive BSFs, 26 certainly exist in and around such BSFs, whatever their type-I or type-II alignment, as commented by Sun et al 27 Now, a binding energy of 18 meV seems quite small compared to the bulk value ͑26 meV͒ for a type-II exciton in such shallow and narrow quantum wells, especially if one considers the presence of electric fields that, for type-II structures, tend to minimize the electron-hole separation ͑see Fig. 10 of Ref.…”

“…The high-energy shoulder in PL emission of the highly doped samples (see Fig. 1) could be related to a higher confined electron level in the QW, which might be pulled down in energy by BGR and possibly a potential distortion related to the electron filling [12]. An alternative explanation would be a local variation in well widths in the near surface region originating from the opening of dislocations in the MQW region.…”
