“…It has been suspected that such high efficiencies are caused by the localization of carriers by the potential-energy fluctuation in the QWs, which prevents the carriers from recombining nonradiatively at defects [13,16,17]. The possible reasons reported for carrier localization include alloy fluctuation with the incorporation of In [18][19][20][21], thickness variation of QWs [20,21], In-N-In chains [22], In clustering [23], crystal quality [24], In/Ga segregation [17], crystallographic defects [14,[25][26][27][28], the piezoelectric field (F PZ ) [21,28,29], and the combined effects of point defects and F PZ [30]. It has been widely accepted that excited carriers are spatially separated from defects owing to higher electrical potential energy at the edge of defects, which prevents carriers from diffusing into them [13,16,25,26,30].…”
