Abstract
We report on photoluminescence (PL) studies of AlGaN/AlGaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures with well widths spanning from 1.65 to 5.0 nm under various excitations and temperatures. The samples were fabricated by migration‐enhanced metal‐organic chemical vapor deposition technique (MEMOCVD®). Screening of the built‐in electric field by photogenerated carriers reduced quantum‐confined Stark effect (QCSE). This is confirmed by solving the Poisson and Schrodinger equations for AlGaN‐based quantum wells (QWs) under study. Analysis of the PL internal quantum efficiency under different excitations in MQWs with different widths shows strong influence of the carrier localization on the radiative properties of MQWs.

The photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of InGaN/GaN quantum wells with different In concentrations x In have been measured. The PL emission forms a broad band consisting of two parts with dramatically different dynamics. The high energy part (QW H ) is present only under higher excitation densities (>1
