摘要
The influence of Si doping on exciton localization in modulation-doped GaN/Al0.07Ga0.93N multiple-quantum-well structures has been studied by means of photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved PL measurements. Surprisingly, the PL decay time is constant in the range 320-420 ps for all doping levels at 2 K in these samples, due to a strong localization of the holes. The temperature dependence of radiative as well as nonradiative lifetime has also been evaluated between 2 K and room temperature for different Si doping. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
