AbstractWe report on the fabrication and characterisation gallium nitride light emitting diodes (LEDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) oriented sapphire and (111)B GaAs substrates. The current voltage characteristics of the devices grown on sapphire show turn on voltages of between 4 and 5V with large on-series resistance of 600Ω; for corresponding devices grown on GaAs these parameters are between 6 and 7V and 150 Ω, respectively.Room temperature electroluminescence (EL) spectra from the GaN LEDs ,grown on sapphire substrates, show a dominant emission at 3.2 eV (397nm) with a full width half maximum (FWHM) of 335 meV which is attributed to free electron to acceptor transitions (e, A−Mg). A broad low intensity deep level emission is also observed centred at 2.4 eV (506nm). The peak of the EL from the devices grown on GaAs is at 3.1eV rather than 3.2eV. The differences between the two sets of devices are probably caused by the different device geometry.Preliminary results show that an “annealing” effect caused by electrical stressing resulted in an improvement of the EL spectra. The stressed samples show an increase in the near band edge emission intensity, a 20meV reduction in the FWHM and a significant reduction in the intensity of the deep level emission. The devices have a large 1/f noise contribution which does not appear to change after electrical stressing.

Absract:Temperature-dependent electroluminescence (EL) of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with peak emission energies ranging from 2.3 eV (green) to 3.3 eV (UV) has been studied over a wide temperature range (5-300 K). As the temperature is decreased from 300 K to 150 K, the EL intensity increases in all devices due to reduced nonradiative recombination and improved carrier confinement. However, LED operation at lower temperatures (150-5 K) is a strong function of In ratio in the active layer. For the green LEDs, emission intensity increases monotonically in the whole temperature range, while for the blue and UV LEDs, a remarkable decrease of the light output was observed, accompanied by a large redshift of the peak energy. The discrepancy can be attributed to various amounts of localization states caused by In composition fluctuation in the QW active regions. Based on a rate equation analysis, we find that the densities of the localized states in the green LEDs are more than two orders of magnitude higher than that in the UV LED. The large number of localized states in the green LEDs are crucial to maintain high-efficiency carrier capture at low temperatures.

AbstractIn the field of perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), the performance of blue emissive electroluminescence devices lags behind the other counterparts due to the lack of fabrication methodology. Herein, we demonstrate the in situ fabrication of CsPbClBr2 nanocrystal films by using mixed ligands of 2-phenylethanamine bromide (PEABr) and 3,3-diphenylpropylamine bromide (DPPABr). PEABr dominates the formation of quasi-two-dimensional perovskites with small-n domains, while DPPABr induces the formation of large-n domains. Strong blue emission at 470 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield up to 60% was obtained by mixing the two ligands due to the formation of a narrower quantum-well width distribution. Based on such films, efficient blue PeLEDs with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 8.8% were achieved at 473 nm. Furthermore, we illustrate that the use of dual-ligand with respective tendency of forming small-n and large-n domains is a versatile strategy to achieve narrow quantum-well width distribution for photoluminescence enhancement.
