Abstract

AlGaN/GaN multi-quantum wells (MQW's) were optically studied in this work. Photoluminescence spectra revealed a quantum Stark effect in the samples. Calculated builtin electric fields were found to be significantly less than the values expected from theoretical models. An approach concerning the existence of free charges responsible for screening of the electric field is made, where we find carrier densities very similar to values described in other works.
