The simulated electric field diagrams showed that the quantum well (QW) sandwiched by the p-n quantum barriers had a less electric field than the other QWs due to the original polarization-related electric field was partially balanced off by the built-in electric field of the p-n quantum barriers. In addition, the simulation results demonstrated that by selecting suitable position of p-n quantum barriers, the distribution of carriers could be effectively improved; hence the droop behavior could also be suppressed.","PeriodicalId":10254,"journal":{"name":"CLEO: 2013","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87588201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
