Abstract

We conducted a comprehensive investigation into the optimal architecture of light-emitting devices operating in the 230 nm wavelength band, which were fabricated face-to-face by annealing sputter-deposited AlN templates for electron-beam excitation. The structures and multiple quantum wells were systematically optimized. The present findings revealed that employing AlN as the underlayer and the barrier layers produced significant improvements in surface smoothness and enhanced cathodoluminescence intensity. Moreover, the optimized device was successfully integrated with a graphene-based electron source, facilitating light emission through electron-beam excitation and achieving a power efficiency of 0.16 %. Remarkably, this power efficiency remained stable with increasing injected current from the graphene-based electron source, demonstrating a linear increase in light output without the efficiency droop associated with conventional light-emitting diodes. These results validate the potential of a simplified device structure that eliminates the need for a p-type layer, aiding the development of large-area, high-output light sources within the 230 nm band.

期刊介绍: The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
