Abstract

We have performed a systematic investigation of GaN/AlGaN quantum wells grown on different buffer layers (either GaN or AlGaN) in order to clarify the role of strain, structural parameters, and built-in field in determining the well-width dependence of the ground level emission energy. We find that identical quantum wells grown on different buffer layers exhibit strong variation of the ground level energy but similar well-width dependence. The data are quantitatively explained by an analytic model based on the envelope function formalism which accounts for screening and built-in field, and by a full self-consistent tight binding model.
