Zusammenfassung:In N ∕ In 0.75 Ga 0.25 N multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were grown by rf plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The high-resolution transmission electron microscope and x-ray diffraction measurements showed evidence of growth of atomically smooth and sharp interface and good periodicity. Room-temperature photoluminescence emissions from InN quantum wells were observed at the wavelength range from 1.59to1.95μm by changing the well thickness. The unstrained valence band offset of InN∕GaN was estimated to be ΔEv=0.9eV by comparing the experimental transition wavelengths of the MQWs and a theoretical calculation considering strain effects and built-in, mainly piezoelectric, fields.
