In this work, a random distribution of Indium in a quantum well has been considered to study the effect on the energy gap of a GaN/InGaN/GaN LED device. Monte Carlo sampling technique has been used to generate hundreds of atomistic model structures of the device active region. In order to calculate pseudomorphic strain and internal deformations of the alloy, a multiscale method combining continuous media elasticity and atomistic valence force field models has been used. A multiphysic quantum/classical simulation coupling driftdiffusion with empirical tight‐binding in order to compute the electron and hole states of the system has been performed. The reliable sp3d5s* parametrization has been used in the calculations of the eigenstates. We have found an energy gap difference of 50.9 meV for x (In) = 0.1 molar fraction between using virtual crystal approximation and a random distribution of In which increase with increasing Indium concentration. Moreover, electrons wave function seems to be more sensitive than holes due to Indium fluctuations
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.
