Popis: This paper is focused on the temperature-dependence of photoluminescence (PL) internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and defect-recombination in InGaN light-emitting diodes. It is found low-temperature PL-IQE is remarkably lower than 100% for some samples, suggesting the existence of residual defect-recombination under low temperature. Theoretical analysis deduces that defect-recombination cannot be frozen out at low temperature, because it follows T1/2 temperature-dependent defect-capture coefficient without defect-activation energy. The empirical formulas describing temperature-dependence of defect-recombination lifetime and PL-IQE are correspondingly revised. (© 2014 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
