Burying non-radiative defects in InGaN underlayer to increase InGaN/GaN quantum well efficiency

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Denis Martin, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Camille Haller

The insertion of an InGaN underlayer (UL) is known to strongly improve the performance of InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) based blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the actual physical mechanism responsible for it is still unclear. We thus conduct a sys ...

Calcium impurity as a source of non-radiative recombination in (In,Ga)N layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy

Nicolas Grandjean

Ca as an unintentional impurity has been investigated in III-nitride layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). It is found that Ca originates from the substrate surface, even if careful cleaning and rinsing procedures are applied. The initial Ca surfac ...

Room-Temperature Transport of Indirect Excitons in (Al,Ga)N/GaN Quantum Wells

Nicolas Grandjean, Lise Lahourcade

We report on the exciton propagation in polar (Al,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells over several micrometers and up to room temperature. The key ingredient to achieve this result is the crystalline quality of GaN quantum wells grown on GaN substrate that limits nonra ...

Quantum confinement dependence of the energy splitting and recombination dynamics of A and B excitons in a GaN/AlGaN quantum well

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Raphaël Butté, Eric Feltin, Dobri Simeonov, Massimo Gurioli

We report the observation of well-resolved A and B excitonic resonances in the reflectivity spectra of a wedged GaN/AlGaN quantum well (QW) with 5% Al content in the barriers for different well thicknesses. For the thicker well cases, the energy splitting ...
