    Abstract

    In this paper we show that by using InxGa1-xN/AlInGaN quantum wells, with values of x of 0.08 and narrow quantum wells in the range 2.4 to 1.5 nm, it is possible to achieve very high room temperature photoluminescence quantum efficiencies. The key factors in the design are high barriers, exciton localization and a fast radiative recombination rate. Specifically the structure with the well width of 1.5 nm has a measured efficiency of 0.63. © 2007 American Institute of Physics.
