摘要
It is shown that the photoluminescence (PL) dead layer model, which is widely used in the literature to fit the variations of the room temperature PL intensity versus the surface recombination velocity of III-V compound semiconductor materials, may not be suitable to practical experimental condition. It is proposed a simple analytical derivation of the PL yield which includes the contribution of radiative recombination in the near surface field region.
