AbstractWe have studied the structural and optical properties of a series of (In,Ga)/GaN multiple quantum wells with identical thicknesses but varied In content grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. Careful choice of the growth parameters returns samples with smooth and abrupt interfaces. The shift of the photoluminescence transition energy with externally applied biaxial tension was investigated. We observed a red-shift for small In contents while a blue-shift was detected for higher In contents. This result is in qualitative agreement with band profile calculations taking into account both the band gap deformation potentials and the piezoelectric polarization in these structures. However, the magnitude of the shift is well in excess of the calculated one. We attribute this finding to a substantial deviation of the piezoelectric constants from those calculated for unstrained material. Finally, we estimate the piezoelectric polarization of InGaN/GaN for linear and non-linear terms in strain.

ABSTRACTAlGaN based multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were grown on 8° vicinal 4H p-SiC substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The MQWs were designed to emit near 300 nm using the wurtzite k.p model. The MQW periodicity and strain state were measured with X-ray diffraction. The optical properties were characterized with temperature dependent photoluminescence (PL). The internal quantum efficiency was estimated from the ratio of room temperature to 18K integrated PL intensity. Internal quantum efficiency up to 48% was achieved. These data are encouraging for future vertical and inverted ultraviolet light emitting diodes grown on p-SiC substrates.
