Abstract

GaN-based alloys are characterized by important spatial composition inhomogeneities resulting from the random distribution of Indium atoms. These variations can induce carrier localization and strongly influence the performance of the devices. We present here a work based on the recent theory of the localization landscape, whose main result is the derivation of an effective potential W. The basins of this effective potential define the localization subregions of carriers. The exponential decay of the wave functions outside these regions is controlled by the Agmons distance, which is calculated on 2D landscape map. Interactions between bound states are shown to happen along very well defined preferential paths within the system.
