摘要
The high quantum efficiency of light emission from GaInN/GaN quantum wells despite the typically large defect density still lacks a quantitative explanation. From a detailed analysis of the efficiency of highly efficient samples we find that a reduction of the radiative probability due to free exciton dissociation is the dominant mechanism limiting the quantum efficiency. Random exciton localization is shown to be only a minor contribution.
