摘要：
The optical polarization of GaN/AlGaN wurtzite quantum wells in various orientations is studied using an arbitrarily-oriented [hkil] Hamiltonian potential matrix. The optical matrix elements in the wurtzite quantum wells are calculated using the k . p finite difference scheme. The results reveal the presence of giant in-plane optical anisotropy (polarized normal to [0001]) in the M-plane (i.e., the (10 (1) over bar0)-oriented layer plane) GaN/Al0.2Ga0.8N quantum well, due to the positive crystal-field split energy effect (Delta(CR) > 0). The present theoretical results are consistent with the photoluminescence measurements presented in the literature [B. Rau, et al., Appl. Phys. Lett. 77 (2000) 3343]. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
