説明

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>This paper investigates the quantum confined Stark effect in AlGaN multiple quantum well structures with a high Al content grown on single-crystalline AlN substrates. The quantitative relationship between the quantum well structure parameters, photogenerated carrier density, built-in electric field and ground-level emission is discussed. It is found that the electric field strength increases from 0.5 MV cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> to almost 3 MV cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> when the Al content in the quantum well barriers is increased from 65% to 100%, which is consistent with the theory of spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization in III-nitrides. In addition, the built-in electric field increases significantly with increasing barrier thickness. Based on these results, the electric field in an Al<jats:sub>0.55</jats:sub>Ga<jats:sub>0.45</jats:sub>N single quantum well with AlN cladding is predicted to be around 5 MV cm<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup>.</jats:p>
