摘要
We have used time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) to examine light-emitting diodes made of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) before the final stages of processing. The time-resolved photoluminescence from a dim MQW was quenched by nonradiative recombination centers. The PL kinetics from a bright MQW were not single exponential but stretched exponential, with the stretch parameter beta = 0.59 +/- 0.05. The emission lifetime varied with energy, within error beta was independent of the emission energy. The stretched exponential kinetics are consistent with significant disorder in the material. We attribute the disorder to spatial fluctuations of the local indium concentration. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S00036951(98)02450-4].
