Description
Summary:The influence of nanoparticles and thin layers of Au, Eu phthalocyanine, and Er nanoparticles on the formation of luminescence spectra of InGaN/GaN quantum-well structures has been investigated. It has been shown that the influence of localized plasmons on the generation of charge carriers is determined by the size of Au nanoparticles under the assumption that the interaction of plasmons with surface states of the structures plays a dominant role. The influence of Au nanoparticles on the formation of luminescence spectra of multiple quantum-well structures based on InGaN/GaN, unlike the case of Au layers, is determined by the indium concentration. The influence of Eu phthalocyanine films, which are deposited onto the surface of the studied structures, on their photoluminescence spectra is similar to the influence of doping of these structures with europium.
