摘要：

The band-edge property and built-in electric fields of two different AlxGa1-xN/GaN (AlGaN/GaN) hetero-structures (HSs) with and without an additional AlGaN inserted layer were studied by thermoreflectance (TR), photoluminescence (PL), and contactless electroreflectance (CER) techniques. The PL spectra characterize the band-edge luminescence property of GaN. Free exciton transitions of AlGaN and GaN were probed experimentally by TR. Prominent Franz-Keldysh oscillations (FKOs) of GaN and the opposite FKO phase of AlGaN were simultaneously detected by the additional AlGaN inserted sample with CER owing to the enhancement effect of built-in electric fields of GaN and AlGaN with the same polarity direction. Optoelectronics properties of the two HSs were characterized by the experimental analyses. (C) 2009 Optical Society of America
