Abstract
InGaN∕GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diodes with varied InGaN quantum well thicknesses are fabricated and characterized. The investigation of luminous efficiency versus current density reveals a variety of efficiency droop behaviors. It is found that the efficiency droop can be drastically reduced by increasing the quantum well thickness of the MQW structures. On the other hand, relative internal quantum efficiency (IQE) measurements indicate that a thinner well results to higher IQEs owing to the greater spatial overlap of electron and hole distribution functions.

High-Power and High-Efficiency InGaN-Based Light Emitters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the fundamental origin of the typical high current?droop? of efficiency observed in such LEDs and showed that this effect is most likely not caused by incomplete carrier injection or carrier escape but that it is rather a fundamental material property of InGaN/GaN-heterostructure-based light emitters.

Thermal boundary resistance predictions from molecular dynamics simulations and theoretical calculations

TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of two theoretical expressions for thermal boundary resistance are assessed by comparing their predictions to independent predictions from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, which assume that the phonon interface scattering is specular and elastic.
