Abstract:

We present a systematic investigation of free-carrier screening in coupled asymmetric GaN quantum discs with embedded AlGaN barriers using time-integrated and time-resolved micro-photoluminescence measurements, supported by three-dimensional multi-band k.p computational modeling. Free-carrier screening effects decreased with the barrier thickness, which indicates that the source of the free-carriers were carriers tunneling through the barrier.

Abstract:

Nficro-photoluminescence properties of single InGaN/GaN quantum dots (QDs) are investigated using sub-bandgap excitation by 1 ps pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser. This results in almost complete suppression of background emission arising from the underlying quantum well to which the QDs are coupled. Photoluminescence excitation spectra undertaken using this technique show evidence of p-states. The non-linear intensity dependence of the emission is also discussed.
