摘要
GaInN/GaN quantum wells are now at the heart of visible light emitting devices such as light emitting diodes and laser diodes. Radiative recombination of charge carriers provides the basis of light emission, while non-radiative recombination processes constitute unwanted loss mechanisms. In this review, the physics of both radiative and non-radiative recombination processes is discussed in detail, shining light on many peculiar properties of III-nitride quantum wells.
