First-principles studies for magnetism in Cu-doped GaN

Hole carrier mediated magnetization in Cu-doped GaN is investigated by using the first-principles calculations.By studying the sp-d interaction and the direct exchange interaction among the dopants,we obtain an equation to determine the spontaneous magnetization as a function of the Cu dopant concentration and the hole carrier density.It is demonstrated that nonmagnetic Cu doped GaN can be of room-temperature ferromagnetism.The system’s Curie temperature Tc can reach about 345 K with Cu concentration of 1.0% and hole carrier density of 5.0×1019 cm-3.The results are in good agreement with experimental observations and indicate that ferromagnetism in this systems is tunable by controlling the Cu concentration and the hole carrier density.

Improved performance of GaN-based light-emitting diodes by using short-period superlattice structures

An InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diode (LED) with a ten-period i (undoped) -InGaN/p (Mg doped) -GaN (2.5 nm/5.0 nm) superlattice (SL) structure, was fabricated. This SL structure that can be regarded as a confinemen t layer of holes to enhance the hole injection efficiency is inse rted between MQW and p-GaN layers. The studied LED device exhibits better current spreading performance and an improved quality, compared with a conventional one without SL structure. Due to the reduced contact resistance as well as more uniformity of carrier s injection, the operation voltage at 20 mA is decreased from 3.32 to 3.14 V. A remarkably reduced reverse-biased leakage current (10^-7?10^-9 A) and higher endurance of the reverse current pulse are found. The measured output power and external quantum efficiency (EQE) of the studied LED are 13.6 mW and 24.8%, respectively. In addition, significant enhancement of 25.4% in output power as well as increment of 5% in EQE for the studied devices is observed, as the studied devices show s uperior current spreading ability and reduction in dislocations offered by the SL structure.
