Abstract

(Al,Ga)N/GaN quantum wells have been studied by temperature-dependent luminescence and reflectivity. The samples were grown by molecular beam epitaxy on (0001) sapphire substrates, and well widths were varied from 3 to 15 monolayers (ML's) with a 2-ML increment, thus providing a reliable data set for the study of the well width dependence of transition energies. The latter shows a strong quantum confined Stark effect for wide wells, and an internal electric-field strength of 450 kV/cm is deduced. X-ray diffraction performed on the same samples shows that the GaN layers are nearly unstrained, whereas the (Al,Ga)N barriers are pseudomorphically strained on GaN. We conclude that the origin of the electric field is predominently due to spontaneous polarization effects rather than a piezoelectric effect in the well material.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
