摘要
A microscopic model, based on a full-Brillouin-zone description of the electronic structure, is used to investigate Auger transitions in InGaN/GaN quantum wells. The lack of momentum conservation along the confining direction enhances direct (i.e., phononless) Auger transitions, leading to Auger coefficients in the range of those predicted for phonon-dressed processes in bulk InGaN. The dependence of Auger coefficients on temperature and quantum well thickness is analyzed. The limitations of conventional multiband models, based on zone-center approximations of the band structure, are discussed. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
