1202.5368 (R. Micheletto et al.)

Observation of lattice waves through observation of the
photoluminescence Blinking in InGaN Quantum Well devices
   [PDF]

R. Micheletto, K. Oikawa, C. Feldmeier
The photoluminescence of III-V wide band-gap semiconductors as InGaN is
characterized by local intensity fluctuations, known as 'blinking points', that
despite decades of research are not yet completely understood. In this letter
we report experimental data and a theoretical interpretation that suggests they
are caused by the interference of thermal vibrations of the Quantum Well
lattice. With far-field optical tests we could observe the lower frequency tail
of these interference waves and study their dynamics as they propagate up to
distances of several tens of microns.
