Abstract
Dynamic properties are studied for the AlGaN/GaN quantum well (QW) structures with and without the coating of colloidal ZnO nanocrystals (NCs). The QW exciton recombination rate was reduced in such hybrids compared to the bare QW structure only in the sample with the thinnest cap layer of 3nm. Assuming that one of the recombination mechanisms in this hybrid is non-radiative resonant energy transfer (NRET) between the QW and the energy acceptor material i.e. ZnO NCs, the maximum pumping efficiency was estimated to be ∼42% at 60K. The NRET effect is, however, vanished after several months despite that the hybrid structures are composed of chemically stable components.
