Insight into the physical mechanism of AlxGa1−xN electron blocking layer in GaN-based light emitting diodes

The effect of AlxGa1−xN electron blocking layer (EBL) on suppressing electron leakage from the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) active region has been systematically investigated by conducting the first-principles calculations. Our results revealed that the Al concentration in EBL plays a dominant role...
