TLDR
The photoluminescent and electroluminescence properties of GaN-GaN:Mg diodes are described in this article, where the I −V characteristics showed I ∞ V3 in the region where light was emitted, and the observed power efficiency was approximately 10−5.
Abstract
The photoluminescent and electroluminescent properties of GaN–GaN:Mg diodes are described. Visible violet electroluminescence was observed with excitation voltages of 10–20 V with the emission peak in the region of 2.9 eV. The I‐V characteristics showed I ∞ V3 in the region where light was emitted, and the observed power efficiency was approximately 10−5. A photoluminescence peak at 2.9 eV provided additional evidence for an acceptor level, associated with the Mg impurity, about 0.5 eV above the valence band.

Luminescence of Zn‐ and Cd‐doped GaN

TL;DR: In this paper, the luminescence of epitaxial GaN layers doped with Zn or Cd during growth is characterized, at low doping levels, by the presence of an I1-type line at 3.455 eV at 4.2 K which is attributed to the decay of excitons bound to neutral [inverted lazy s] 190 −meV deep Zn/Cd acceptors on Ga sites.

GaN blue light-emitting diodes

TL;DR: In this paper, blue electroluminescence is obtained at room temperature from avalanche breakdown at i-n transitions produced in GaN grown from the vapor phase, which is obtained from GaN growing from the gas phase.
