Abstract

The high-field electroluminescence (EL) spectra for Al-rich AlN nanowhiskers varying applied voltage were studied. The observed 2.70 eV emission, which can be considered as superposition of two Gaussian bands in 2.75 and 2.53 eV, was analyzed. It was shown that Fowler-Nordheim effect took place in EL mechanism with participation of capturing levels of ON- and VN-centers when AlN nanowhiskers were exposed to an external field of 2.5 ÷ 10 V/μm. Obtained results and made conclusions are in a good agreement with independent electron field emission measurements for different one-dimensional AlN nanostructures.
