Abstract | The impact of electromechanical coupling on optical properties of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with InGaN/GaN quantum-dot (QD) active regions is studied by numerical simulations. The structure, i.e. the shape and the average In content of the QDs, has been directly derived from experimental data on out-of-plane strain distribution obtained from the geometric-phase analysis of a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy image of an LED structure grown by metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. Using continuum k ⃗ p ⃗ calculations, we have studied first the lateral and full electromechanical coupling between the QDs in the active region and its impact on the emission spectrum of a single QD located in the center of the region. Our simulations demonstrate the spectrum to be weakly affected by the coupling despite the strong common strain field induced in the QD active region. Then we analyzed the effect of vertical coupling between vertically stacked QDs as a function of the interdot distance. We have found that QCSE gives rise to a blue-shift of the overall emission spectrum when the interdot distance becomes small enough. Finally, we compared the theoretical spectrum obtained from simulation of the entire active region with an experimental electroluminescence (EL) spectrum. While the theoretical peak emission wavelength of the selected central QD corresponded well to that of the EL spectrum, the width of the latter one was determined by the scatter in the structures of various QDs located in the active region. Good agreement between the simulations and experiment achieved as a whole validates our model based on realistic structure of the QD active region and demonstrates advantages of the applied approach. |
