In recent years there have been many studies of InGaN/GaN based light emitting diodes (LEDs) in order to progress the performance of luminescence. Many previous literatures showed the performance of LEDs by changing the LED structures and substrates. However, the studies carried out by the researchers so far were very complicated and sometimes difficult to apply in practice. Therefore, we propose one simple method of changing the thickness and the numbers of multiple quantum wells (MQWs) in order to optimize their effects. In our research, we investigated electrical and optical properties by changing the well thickness and the number of quantum well (QW) pair in LED structures by growing the structure -inch Si (111) wafer. We defined the samples from LED_1 to LED_3 according to MQW structure. Samples LED_1, LED_2 and LED_3 consist of 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/ 4.5 nm), 5-pair InGaN/GaN (3 nm/4.5 nm) and 7-pair InGaN/GaN (3.5 nm/4.5 nm), respectively. We characterized electrical and optical properties by using electroluminescence (EL) measurement. Also, Efficiency droop was analyzed by calculating external quantum efficiency (EQE) with varying injection current. The EL spectra of three samples show different emission wavelength peaks, FWHM and the blueshift of wavelength caused by screening the internal electric field because of the effect of different MQW structure. The results of optical properties show that the LED_2 sample reduce the internal electric field in QW than LED_1 from EL spectra. the increase in the number of QW pairs reduces the strain and increase the In composition in MQW. And, the points of efficiency droop's peak show different trend from LED_1 to LED_3. It is related with the carrier density in active region. Thus, from the results of experiments, we are able to achieve high performance LEDs and a reduction of efficiency droop and emission wavelength blueshift by optimizing MQWs structure.

Recently, there has been much interests in InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) structures due to their applicability as optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes [1]. Their ultrafast and physical properties are also of significant interests. Anomalously large acoustic phonon oscillations have been observed using ultrafast lasers in InGaN MQWs [2]. In this study, we have peformed femtosecond pump-probe experiments in the reflection geometry on 5 periods InGaN/GaN MQW LED structure with well width of 20$\AA$ and barrier width of 100$\AA$ at room temperature.

The development of a variety of methods like AM1, PM3, PM5 and DFT now allows the calculation of atomic and molecular properties with high precision as well as the treatment of large molecules with predictive power. In this paper, these methods have been used to calculate a number of quantum chemical descriptors (like Klopman atomic softness in terms of $E_n^{\ddag}\;and\;E_m^{\ddag}$, chemical hardness, global softness, electronegativity, chemical potential, electrophilicity index, heat of formation, total energy etc.) for 75 alkanes to predict their boiling point values. The 3D modeling, geometry optimization and semiempirical & DFT calculations of all the alkanes have been made with the help of CAChe software. The calculated quantum chemical descriptors have been correlated with observed boiling point by using multiple linear regression (MLR) analysis. The predicted values of boiling point are very close to the observed values. The values of correlation coefficient ($r^2$) and cross validation coefficient ($r_{cv}^2$) also indicates the generated QSPR models are valuable and the comparison of all the methods indicate that the DFT method is most reliable while the addition of Klopman atomic softness $E_n^{\ddag}$ in DFT method improves the result and provides best correlation.

디지털 합금(digital alloy) InGaAlAs 다중 양자 우물(multiple quantum wells: MQWs) 구조의 열처리(rapid thermal annealing: RTA) 온도에 따른 발광 특성을 PL (photoluminescence)와 TRPL (time-resolved PL)를 이용하여 분석하였다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 $850^{\circ}C$까지 온도를 변화시켜 RTA한 디지털 합금 MQWs의 PL 결과는 $750^{\circ}C$에서 RTA한 시료가 가장 강한 PL 세기와 가장 좁은 반치폭을 나타내었다. 이것은 $750^{\circ}C$에서 30초 동안 RTA하였을 때 비발광 재결합 센터가 감소하고 가장 매끄러운 경계면이 형성되는 것을 나타낸다. RTA 온도를 $800^{\circ}C$와 $850^{\circ}C$로 증가하였을 때 PL 피크는 청색편이 하였으며 PL 세기는 감소하였다. PL 피크의 청색편이는 RTA 온도가 증가함에 따라 InGaAs/InAlAs SPS (short-period superlattice)의 경계면에서의 Ga과 Al의 혼합(intermixing)으로 Al 함량이 증가한 것으로 설명되며, PL 세기의 감소는 경계면의 거칠기의 증가와 인듐의 상분리(phase separation)로 인한 비균일 조성(compositional fluctuation)으로 설명된다. RTA 온도를 증가하였을 때 PL 소멸시간은 증가하였으며, 이것은 비발광 재결합 센터(결정 결함)가 감소한 것을 나타낸다. 디지털 합금 InGaAlAs MQWs 시료의 PL 특성은 적절한 RTA 조건에서 현저히 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

Details of carrier dynamics in self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) with a particular attention to nonradiative processes are not only interesting for fundamental physics, but it is also relevant to performance of optoelectronic devices and the exploitation of nanocrystals in practical applications. In general, the possible processes in such systems can be considered as radiative relaxation, carrier transfer between dots of different dimensions, Auger nonradiactive scattering, thermal escape from the dot, and trapping in surface and/or defects states. Authors of recent studies have proposed a mechanism for the carrier dynamics of time-resolved photoluminescence CdTe (a type II-VI QDs) systems. This mechanism involves the activation of phonons mediated by electron-phonon interactions. Confinement of both electrons and holes is strongly dependent on the thermal escape process, which can include multi-longitudinal optical phonon absorption resulting from carriers trapped in QD surface defects. Furthermore, the discrete quantized energies in the QD density of states (1S, 2S, 1P, etc.) arise mainly from ${\delta}$-functions in the QDs, which are related to different orbitals. Multiple discrete transitions between well separated energy states may play a critical role in carrier dynamics at low temperature when the thermal escape processes is not available. The decay time in QD structures slightly increases with temperature due to the redistribution of the QDs into discrete levels. Among II-VI QDs, wide-gap CdZnTe QD structures characterized by large excitonic binding energies are of great interest because of their potential use in optoelectronic devices that operate in the green spectral range. Furthermore, CdZnTe layers have emerged as excellent candidates for possible fabrication of ferroelectric non-volatile flash memory. In this study, we investigated the optical properties of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate grown using molecular beam epitaxy. Time-resolved and temperature-dependent PL measurements were carried out in order to investigate the temperature-dependent carrier dynamics and the activation energy of CdZnTe/ZnTe QDs on Si substrate.

A blue LED of $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}N$ multiple quantum well structure which had the blue emission spectrum of donor-acceptor pair transition generated form Si-Zn co-doped $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}N$ active layer, was fabricated. The $In_{x}Ga_{1-x}N$ MQW heterojunction LED structure was grown by MOCVD on the sapphire substrate with (0001) surface orientation at 800.deg. C. The fabricated LED exhibited forward cut-in voltage of 4~4.5V and reverse breakdown voltage of -13V. Its optical chracteristics showed that the center wavelength of peak emission occurred at 460nm and the optical intensity was increased linearly with respect to the injected electrical current above 5mA.
