Abstract
We have studied optical transitions in GaInN/GaN single and multiple quantum wells using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy. Our results show that the energy positions of the dominant emission lines strongly depend both on the well width and on the number of wells. In the case of multiple quantum wells, time-resolved measurements clearly distinguish multiple emission lines. These observations are consistently explained by considering the large built-in piezoelectric field in strained GaInN quantum wells. The multiple emission lines are attributed to intra- and interwell transitions between nearest and next-nearest neighbors.Keywords
