The results on surface control of light-emitting structures (LES) based on MQW InGaN/GaN grown by MOCVD on (0001) sapphire substrates have been presented. For these purposes, the treatment of atomicforce-microscopy data by multifractal analyses has been applied. It was shown, that multifractal parameter (the degree of order of mosaic structure, ∆) reflects the peculiarities of the extended defect system (EDS), including mosaic structure and high density of dislocations, and correlates with the volume structural, electrical and optical properties of LES. Depending on ∆, EDS relaxes with formation of either the domain dilatation boundaries or numerous domain dislocation boundaries and these structural peculiarities influence essentially the shape of photo-and electroluminescence spectra, delayed spectra and the values of external quantum efficency. The surface control using ∆ can be applied to optimize the properties of LES and the process of their creation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
