Abstract

Effects of well thickness and Si-doping on the photoluminescence (PL) emission properties of GaN/AlxGa1-xN (x ~ 0.07) and InxGa1-xN/GaN (x ~ 0.15–0.2) multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown both by MOCVD and reactive MBE have been studied. The room temperature emission mechanisms have also been addressed.
