摘要
We report the strong screening effect of photo-generated carriers on piezoelectric held induced by lattice mismatch strain in In0.13Ga0.87N/In0.03Ga0.97N Multiple quantum wells. Blue shifts as large as 83 meV and 120 meV of intrinsic transitions at 4 K and 80 K, respectively, are observed when excitation power is increased by two orders of magnitude. Self-consistent numerical calculations were carried out that involved simultaneously solving Schrodinger's and Poisson's equations in order to interpret the experimental data, Efficient screening of the huge piezoelectric field by photo-generated carriers in quantum well regions is demonstrated both experimentally and theoretically.
