研究目的
Investigating the improvement of carrier transport in ZnO/MgZnO multiple-quantum-well ultraviolet light-emitting diodes by energy band modification on MgZnO barriers.
研究成果
The optimized LED with a Mg composition graded from 24% to 2% in each triangular barrier exhibits the highest IQE of 88.0% at 200 A/cm2, showing a 31.3% increase compared with the conventional LED with square barriers. This enhancement is attributed to the modified energy band structures that improve the symmetry in carrier transport and increase the radiative recombination rate in each ZnO quantum well.
研究不足
The study is based on numerical simulation, and the practical implementation of the proposed design may face challenges related to material growth and device fabrication.
