✦ Synopsis
Interband transitions of pseudomorphic GaN/Al x Ga 1-x N quantum wells are analysed theoretically with respect to the piezoelectric field utilizing a 6×6 Rashba-Sheka-Pikus (RSP) Hamiltonian. Band structure modifications due to the built-in Stark effect explain a shift of the emission peak in GaN/Al 0.15 Ga 0.85 N of up to 400 meV. Quantum well exciton binding energies are calculated by the variational method and are discussed in terms of spatial separation of electrons and holes by the built-in electric field, as well as the interaction between valence subbands.
