Internal quantum efficiency and non-radiative recombination coefficient of GaInN/GaN multiple quantum wells with different dislocation densities

Room-temperature photoluminescence measurements are performed on GaInN/GaN multiple quantum wells grown on GaN-on-sapphire templates with different threading-dislocation densities. The internal quantum efficiencies as a function of carrier concentration and the non-radiative coefficients are obtained.
