Electric Field Distribution in strained p-i-n GaN/InGaN multiple quantum well structures.

The presence of piezoelectric fields within p-i-n GaN/InGaN multiple quantum well structures is discussed. Time integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements and theoretical calculations of the effect of these fields is presented. Furthermore, a description of how these fields influence the carrier dynamics and a discussion of how the piezoelectric field effects the design of GaN/InGaN devices is presented.
