  • Strong carrier localization and diminished quantum-confined Stark effect in ultra-thin high-Indium-Content InGaN quantum wells with violet light emission
    Applied Physics Letters, 2013
    Co-Authors: Ho-sang Kwack, Chunghyun Park, Yang-seok Yoo, Soon-yong Kwon, Heejin Kim, Euijoon Yoon, Daniel Le-si Dang, Yong-hoon Cho
    Abstract:

    Here, we report on the optical and structural characteristics of violet-light-emitting, ultra-thin, high-Indium-Content (UTHI) InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs), and of conventional low-In-Content MQWs, which both emit at similar emission energies though having different well thicknesses and In compositions. The spatial inhomogeneity of In Content, and the potential fluctuation in high-efficiency UTHI MQWs were compared to those in the conventional low-In-Content MQWs. We conclude that the UTHI InGaN MQWs are a promising structure for achieving better quantum efficiency in the visible and near-ultraviolet spectral range, owing to their strong carrier localization and reduced quantum-confined Stark effect.

  • Phase separations in graded-Indium Content InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells and its function to high quantum efficiency
    Journal of Semiconductors, 2012
    Co-Authors: Guo Hongying, Sun Yuan-ping, Yong-hoon Cho, Eun-kyung Suh, Hai-joon Lee, Rak-jun Choi, Yoon-bong Hahn
    Abstract:

    Phase separations have been studied for graded-Indium Content InxGa1x N/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with different Indium Contents by means of photoluminescence (PL), cathodeluminescence (CL) and time-resolved PL (TRPL) techniques. Besides the main emission peaks, all samples show another 2 peaks at the high and low energy parts of the main peaks in PL when excited at 10 K. CL images show a clear contrast for 3 samples, which indicates an increasing phase separation with increasing Indium Content. TRPL spectra at 15 K of the main emissions show an increasing delay of rising time with Indium Content, which means a carrier transferring from low Indium Content structures to high Indium Content structures.

  • 1.3 µm high Indium Content (42.5%) GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells grown by molecular beam epitaxy
    physica status solidi (c), 2006
    Co-Authors: Zhichuan Niu, Shiyong Zhang, Zheng Sun, Qin Han
    Abstract:

    High structural and optical quality 1.3 mu m GaInNAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) samples with 42.5% Indium Content were successfully grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The growth of well layers was monitored by reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) peak intensity of the GaIn0.425NAs/GaAs (6 nm / 20 nm) 3QW is higher than, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) is comparable to, that of In0.425GaAs/GaAs 3QW, indicating improved optical quality due to strain compensation effects by introducing N to the high Indium Content InGaAs epilayer. The measured (004) X-ray rocking curve shows clear satellite peaks and Pendellosung fringes, suggesting high film uniformity and smooth interfaces. The cross sectional TEM measurements further reveal that there are no structural defects in such high Indium Content QWs. (c) 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.

  • High-Indium-Content InxGa1−xAs/GaAs quantum wells with emission wavelengths above 1.25 μm at room temperature
    Applied Physics Letters, 2004
    Co-Authors: Zhichuan Niu, Wei Zhang, X. Wei, L. F. Bian, Qin Han
    Abstract:

    High-Indium-Content InxGa1-xAs/GaAs single/multi-quantum well (SQW/MQW) structures have been systematically investigated. By optimizing the molecular-beam epitaxy growth conditions, the critical thickness of the strained In0.475Ga0.525As/GaAs QWs is raised to 7 nm, which is much higher than the value given by the Matthews and Blakeslee model. The good crystalline quality of the strained InGaAs/GaAs MQWs is proved by x-ray rocking curves. Photoluminescence measurements show that an emission wavelength of 1.25 mum at room temperatures with narrower full width at half maximum less than 30 meV can be obtained. The strain relaxation mechanism is discussed using the Matthews-Blakeslee model. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.

  • physical model for high Indium Content ingan gan self assembled quantum dot ridge waveguide lasers emitting at red wavelengths λ 630 nm
    Optics Express, 2015
    Co-Authors: Guanlin Su, Thomas Frost, Pallab Bhattacharya, John Dallesasse
    Abstract:

    We present a physical model for recently demonstrated high Indium Content self-assembled In0.4Ga0.6N/GaN quantum dot (QD)-based ridge-waveguide lasers emitting at red wavelengths. The strain distribution in the QD is calculated using linear elastic theory with the application of shrink-fit boundary condition at the InGaN/GaN material interface, and the electronic states are evaluated using a single-band effective mass Hamiltonian. A Schrodinger-Poisson self-consistent solver is used to describe the effect of charge screening under current injection. Our theoretical result shows a good match to the measured Hakki-Paoli gain spectrum. Combining the calculated gain spectrum and cavity properties, we have developed a device-level simulation to successfully explain the electrical and optical characteristics of this specific laser. Possible solutions to improving the device performance have been explored.

  • optical and structural characteristics of high Indium Content ingan gan multi quantum wells with varying gan cap layer thickness
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2015
    Co-Authors: Jihui Yang, D S Jiang, Degang Zhao, Ping Chen, Jiejie Zhu, Z S Liu, Junkai Liu, H Yang, Y T Zhang
    Abstract:

    The optical and structural properties of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQWs) with different thicknesses of low temperature grown GaN cap layers are investigated. It is found that the MQW emission energy red-shifts and the peak intensity decreases with increasing GaN cap layer thickness, which may be partly caused by increased floating Indium atoms accumulated at quantum well (QW) surface. They will result in the increased interface roughness, higher defect density, and even lead to a thermal degradation of QW layers. An extra growth interruption introduced before the growth of GaN cap layer can help with evaporating the floating Indium atoms, and therefore is an effective method to improve the optical properties of high Indium Content InGaN/GaN MQWs.
