Abstract :
In conclusion, we studied electric field dependence of radiative recombination lifetime (taur) in polar InGaN/GaN quantum heterostructures. We experimentally and theoretically showed that (taur) decreases with increasing external electric field. As a result of our study, we demonstrated Fermi´s golden rule in polar InGaN/GaN quantum heterostructures.
