Intersubband Transition in GaN/InGaN Multiple Quantum Wells.

ABSTRACT: Utilizing the growth temperature controlled epitaxy, high quality GaN/In0.15Ga0.85N multiple quantum wells designed for intersubband transition (ISBT) as novel candidates in III-nitride infrared device applications have been experimentally realized for the first time. Photo-absorption originated from the ISBT has been successfully observed at infrared regime covering the 3-5 μm atmosphere window, where the central absorption wavelength is modulated by adjusting the quantum well width. With increasing the quantum well thickness, the ISBT center wave length blue shifts at thickness less than 2.8 nm and then redshifts with further increase of the well thickness. The non-monotonic trend is most likely due to the polarization induced asymmetric shape of the quantum wells.

Carrier localization in In-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells for green light-emitting diodes.

Project description:Carrier localization phenomena in indium-rich InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on sapphire and GaN substrates were investigated. Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, ultraviolet near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM), and confocal time-resolved PL (TRPL) spectroscopy were employed to verify the correlation between carrier localization and crystal quality. From the spatially resolved PL measurements, we observed that the distribution and shape of luminescent clusters, which were known as an outcome of the carrier localization, are strongly affected by the crystalline quality. Spectroscopic analysis of the NSOM signal shows that carrier localization of MQWs with low crystalline quality is different from that of MQWs with high crystalline quality. This interrelation between carrier localization and crystal quality is well supported by confocal TRPL results.

Highly polarized photoluminescence from c-plane InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells on stripe-shaped cavity-engineered sapphire substrate.

Project description:Highly polarized photoluminescence (PL) from c-plane InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown on stripe-shaped cavity-engineered sapphire substrate (SCES) was realized. The polarization ratio was as high as 0.74 at room temperature. High-resolution X-ray reciprocal space mapping measurements revealed that the InGaN quantum wells on GaN/SCES template were under considerable anisotropic in-plane strain states of -1.178% and -1.921% along the directions perpendicular and parallel to the stripe-pattern, respectively. The anisotropic strain states were attributed to the anisotropic alignment of cavity-incorporated sapphire nano-membranes, which accommodated both anisotropic elastic relaxation in the InGaN quantum well plane as well as the graded elastic relaxation along the vertical direction in the GaN template adjacent to the InGaN/GaN MQWs. The partial strain relaxation in the InGaN wells also contributed to reduction of quantum confined Stark effect, resulting in four times higher PL intensity than InGaN/GaN MQWs on planar sapphire substrate. From theoretical calculations based on k∙p perturbation theory, it was found that fundamental origin of the polarized optical emission was strain-induced modification of valence band structures of the InGaN/GaN MQWs on the SCES. This study will allow us to realize light emitting diodes with highly polarized emission with conventional c-plane sapphire substrates by strain-induced valence band modification.

Strain-induced yellow to blue emission tailoring of axial InGaN/GaN quantum wells in GaN nanorods synthesized by nanoimprint lithography.

Project description:GaN nanorods (NRds) with axial InGaN/GaN MQWs insertions are synthesized by an original cost-effective and large-scale nanoimprint-lithography process from an InGaN/GaN MQWs layer grown on c-sapphire substrates. By design, such NRds exhibit a single emission due to the c-axis MQWs. A systematic study of the emission of the NRds by time-resolved luminescence (TR-PL) and power dependence PL shows a diameter-controlled luminescence without significant degradation of the recombination rate thanks to the diameter-controlled strain tuning and QSCE. A blueshift up to 0.26 eV from 2.28 to 2.54 eV (543 nm to 488 nm) is observed for 3.2 nm thick InGaN/GaN QWs with an In composition of 19% when the NRds radius is reduced from 650 to 80 nm. The results are consistent with a 1-D based strain relaxation model. By combining state of the art knowledge of c-axis growth and the strong strain relieving capability of NRds, this process enables multiple and independent single-color emission from a single uniform InGaN/GaN MQWs layer in a single patterning step, then solving color mixing issue in InGaN based nanorods LED devices.

Investigation of the Impact of Point Defects in InGaN/GaN Quantum Wells with High Dislocation Densities.

Project description:In this work, we report on the efficiency of single InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown on thin (<1 µm) GaN buffer layers on silicon (111) substrates exhibiting very high threading dislocation (TD) densities. Despite this high defect density, we show that QW emission efficiency significantly increases upon the insertion of an In-containing underlayer, whose role is to prevent the introduction of point defects during the growth of InGaN QWs. Hence, we demonstrate that point defects play a key role in limiting InGaN QW efficiency, even in samples where their density (2-3 × 109 cm-2) is much lower than that of TD (2-3 × 1010 cm-2). Time-resolved photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence studies confirm the prevalence of point defects over TDs in QW efficiency. Interestingly, TD terminations lead to the formation of independent domains for carriers, thanks to V-pits and step bunching phenomena.

A study of the optical and polarisation properties of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells grown on a-plane and m-plane GaN substrates.

Project description:We report on a comparative study of the low temperature emission and polarisation properties of InGaN/GaN quantum wells grown on nonpolar ([Formula: see text]) a-plane and ([Formula: see text]) m-plane free-standing bulk GaN substrates where the In content varied from 0.14 to 0.28 in the m-plane series and 0.08 to 0.21 for the a-plane series. The low temperature photoluminescence spectra from both sets of samples are broad with full width at half maximum height increasing from 81 to 330 meV as the In fraction increases. Photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy indicates that the recombination mainly involves strongly localised carriers. At 10 K the degree of linear polarisation of the a-plane samples is much smaller than of the m-plane counterparts and also varies across the spectrum. From polarisation-resolved photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy we measured the energy splitting between the lowest valence sub-bands to lie in the range of 23-54 meV for the a- and m-plane samples in which we could observe distinct exciton features. Thus the thermal occupation of a higher valence sub-band cannot be responsible for the reduction of the degree of linear polarisation at 10 K. Time-resolved spectroscopy indicates that in a-plane samples there is an extra emission component which is at least partly responsible for the reduction in the degree of linear polarisation.

Investigating carrier localization and transfer in InGaN/GaN quantum wells with V-pits using near-field scanning optical microscopy and correlation analysis.

Project description:The V-pits and potential fluctuations in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) are key factors for understanding the performance of InGaN/GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). However, photoluminescence (PL) measurements using conventional optical microscopy only provide ensemble information due to the spatial resolution limit, known as the diffraction barrier, which hinders the analysis of dislocations and potential fluctuations. Here, in order to investigate the influence of the V-pits and potential fluctuations on local optical properties, we performed nanoscopic luminescence mapping for standard and V-pit InGaN/GaN MQWs samples with different sized V-pits using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) with illumination mode (I-mode) at various laser excitation powers. From the nanoscopic PL mapping data, we could clearly observe luminescence features associated with dislocations and potential fluctuations in the InGaN/GaN MQWs. We also employed correlation analysis to quantitatively analyze the nanoscopic PL mapping data for the different MQWs samples. Based on the results of NSOM PL with I-mode and correlation analysis, we could demonstrate that carrier transfer in the MQWs sample with large sized V-pits is suppressed by deeper potential fluctuations and higher energy barriers compared to the standard sample.

Atomic Diffusion of Indium through Threading Dislocations in InGaN Quantum Wells.

Project description:The compositional and structural investigations of threading dislocations (TDs) in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells were carried out using correlative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atom probe tomography (APT). The correlative TEM/APT analysis on the same TD reveals that the indium atoms are diffused along the TD and its concentration decreases with distance from the InGaN layer. On the basis of the results, we directly observed that the indium atoms originating from the InGaN layer diffuse toward the epitaxial GaN surface through the TD, and it is considered to have occurred via the pipe diffusion mechanism induced by strain energy relaxation.

3D fluorescence confocal microscopy of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well nanorods from a light absorption perspective.

Project description:A nanostructure of In0.18Ga0.82N/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) nanorods (NRs) was fabricated using top-down etching with self-organized nickel (Ni) nanoparticles as masks on the wafer. The optical properties of In0.18Ga0.82N/GaN MQW NRs were discussed by experiment and theory from a light absorption perspective. Three-dimensional (3D) optical images of NRs were successfully obtained by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) for physical observation of the optical phenomenon of InGaN/GaN MQW NRs. Moreover, optical simulations were performed by COMSOL Multiphysics via the three-dimensional finite-element method to explore the influences of NR geometrical parameters on optical absorption. The simulated results demonstrate that the absorption of NRs is higher than that of the film due to the waveguide properties of NRs resulting from their higher refractive index than embedding medium and higher aspect ratio than bulk. In addition, an increase in the diameter results in a red-shift of the absorption peak position of In0.18Ga0.82N/GaN MQW NRs. The smaller pitch enhances the near-field coupling of the nanorods and broadens the absorption peak. These results clearly illustrate the optical properties of In0.18Ga0.82N/GaN MQW NRs from the perspective of 3D confocal laser scanning microscopy. This work is promising for the applications of III-V optoelectronic devices.

Linearly polarized photoluminescence of InGaN quantum disks embedded in GaN nanorods.

Project description:We have investigated the emission from InGaN/GaN quantum disks grown on the tip of GaN nanorods. The emission at 3.21?eV from the InGaN quantum disk doesn't show a Stark shift, and it is linearly polarized when excited perpendicular to the growth direction. The degree of linear polarization is about 39.3% due to the anisotropy of the nanostructures. In order to characterize a single nanostructure, the quantum disks were dispersed on a SiO2 substrate patterned with a metal reference grid. By rotating the excitation polarization angle from parallel to perpendicular relative to the nanorods, the variation of overall PL for the 3.21?eV peak was recorded and it clearly showed the degree of linear polarization (DLP) of 51.5%.

Study on spin and optical polarization in a coupled InGaN/GaN quantum well and quantum dots structure.

Project description:The spin and optical polarization based on a coupled InGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) and quantum dots (QDs) structure is investigated. In this structure, spin-electrons can be temporarily stored in QW, and spin injection from the QW into QDs via spin-conserved tunneling is enabled. Spin relaxation can be suppressed owing to the small energy difference between the initial state in the QW and the final states in the QDs. Photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) measurements are carried out on optical spin-injection and -detection. Owing to the coupled structure, spin-conserved tunneling mechanism plays a significant role in preventing spin relaxation process. As a result, a higher circular polarization degree (CPD) (~49.1%) is achieved compared with conventional single layer of QDs structure. Moreover, spin relaxation time is also extended to about 2.43 ns due to the weaker state-filling effect. This coupled structure is believed an appropriate candidate for realization of spin-polarized light source.
