On the origin of the electron blocking effect by an n-type AlGaN electron blocking layer by Zhang, Zi-Hui, Ji, Yun, Liu, Wei, Kyaw, Zabu, Ju, Zhengang, Zhang, Xueliang, Hasanov, Namig, Lu, Shunpeng, Zhang, Yiping, Zhu, Binbin, Volkan Demir, Hilmi, Tan, Swee Tiam, Sun, Xiao Wei

“…It is found that the strong polarization induced electric field within the n-EBL reduces the thermal velocity and correspondingly the mean free path of the hot electrons. As a result, the electron capture efficiency of the multiple quantum wells is enhanced, which significantly reduces the electron overflow from the active region and increases the radiative recombination rate with holes.…”
