Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣大學 === 光電工程學研究所 === 86 === In this thesis, I discuss the use of an efficient finite-difference method in solving the problems of Schroedinger equation in the conduction- and valence- subbands of GaN-based quantum wells. In addition to solving the conventional Rashba-Sheka-Pikus (RSP) six-band Hamiltonian in the valence band, I also cons ider the effects of piezoelectricity due to the strained material growth, self -consistent calculation on band structure due to the Poisson''s effect, many-bo dy effect due to the long-range Coulomb interaction, and band-filling effects in the momentum space due to the carrier injection. In doing so, one can effi ciently derive numerical results as well as gain insight on the designing issu es of light emitting structures and aspects of engineering the quantum well op tical gain coefficients. One can further invokes the important spontaneous em ission spectra of quantum well light emitting diodes and characterize the mate rial parameters on the emission spectrum of blue nitride LEDs.
