摘要：

The anisotropic band structures and spontaneous emission of the non c plane InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) were computed based on the k center dot p perturbation theory. Spontaneous emission due to the A valence band is strongly polarized perpendicular to the c axis, while that from the B band has 90 degrees-rotated polarization, for the crystal angle theta larger than 50 degrees. However, it was found that excited carriers can distribute into both the A and B bands, so that the effective polarization P-eff defined by the integrated luminescence intensity is much reduced even for nonpolar InGaN/GaN QWs. Thus, P-eff was systematically studied for arbitrary planes. We found that the energy separation between the A and B bands becomes significant and carrier population of the B valence band is suppressed as the In content increases, when P-eff approaches Unity.
