Abstract

We present a computational study on the anisotropic luminescence and the efficiency of a core-shell type nanowire LED based on GaN with InGaN active quantum wells. The physical simulator used for analyzing this device integrates a multidimensional drift-diffusion transport solver and a k · p Schr¨odinger problem solver for quantization effects and luminescence. The solution of both problems is coupled to achieve self-consistency. Using this solver we investigate the effect of dimensions, design of quantum wells, and current injection on the efficiency and luminescence of the core-shell nanowire LED. The anisotropy of the luminescence and re-absorption is analyzed with respect to the external efficiency of the LED. From the results we derive strategies for design optimization.
