Abstract
We report experimental and theoretical results on interband and intersubband transitions in GaN quantum wells with strained AlN barriers. All of the samples are grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on sapphire (0001) substrates. The results show that even at room temperature, strong electron localization occurs in the plane of the quantum wells due to the combined effect of monolayer thickness fluctuations and the high internal field in the GaN layers. We also demonstrate that the intersubband absorption is systematically blueshifted in n-doped quantum wells with respect to nominally undoped samples as a result of strong many-body effects, namely the exchange interaction. The results for both undoped and doped quantum wells are in good agreement with simulations.
