Abstract

Combined experimental and theoretical efforts are focused to study hexagonal InGaN/GaN[0001] multiple-quantum wells (MQWs). Plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (PA-MBE) is used to grow high-quality MQWs with multiplicity of 1, 3 and 5. Characterizations methods based on scanning tunneling electron microscopy (STEM) and photoluminescence (PL) indicated that each period is composed of 10 nm GaN barrier and 2.5 nm InGaN well with x ≤ 0.12. Usually, these MQWs have radiations with the blue region. However, in power (from 0.008 mW to 8 mW) dependent micro-photoluminescence (PL), measured at room temperature, blue shifts of about 11.11 nm, 11.94 nm and 14.94 nm were observed corresponding to the single-quantum well (1-QW), 3-MQW, and 5-MQW, respectively. While in literature such shift is speculated to be attributed to so-called
