Text of MIJ-NSR Volume 2, Article 7 (2576 words)
GaN and related compounds have been considered as promising materials for light emitting devices in the short wavelength visible and UV spectral regions because of their direct, wide band gaps and high luminescence efficiency.
The band-edge luminescence from the island has a narrower spectrum than that of the neighboring background material, and the luminescence intensity of the island is an order of magnitude higher, although both spectra shown in Figure 3 have been scaled to have the same peak height.
The ratio of luminescence intensity between an island and its neighborhood could be as high as two orders of magnitudes, as shown in Figure 4 from measurements on five islands and their corresponding neighborhoods.
