Abstract

We present comparative micro-photoluminescence measurements on InGaN/GaN quantum well and quantum dot samples. Single sharp emission lines were investigated for both kinds of samples as a function of temperature and excitation density. For the sharp emission lines of the quantum dots and the strong localization centers in the quantum well samples comparable experimental findings were obtained such as the independence of their spectral position of the excitation density and the observation of binding and antibinding multiexcitonic states giving clear evidence for the quantum dot nature of localization centers.
