In this paper, a superior-quality InN/p-GaN interface grown using pulsed metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is demonstrated. The InN/p-GaN heterojunction interface based on high-quality InN (electron concentration 5.19 × 1018 cm−3 and mobility 980 cm2/(V s)) showed good rectifying behavior. The heterojunction depletion region width was estimated to be 22.8 nm and showed the ability for charge carrier extraction without external electrical field (unbiased). Under reverse bias, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) in the blue spectral region (300⁻550 nm) can be enhanced significantly and exceeds unity. Avalanche and carrier multiplication phenomena were used to interpret the exclusive photoelectric features of the InN/p-GaN heterojunction behavior.

Perovskite light converting layers optimization for cost-efficient white light emitting diodes (LED) was demonstrated. High excitation independent internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of 80% and weakly excitation dependent PL spectra suitable for white light generation were obtained in the mixed cation CsxMA1−xPbBr3 perovskite nanocrystal layers with optimal x = 0.3 being determined by effective surface passivation and phase mixing as revealed by x-ray diffraction. Enhancement of the PL homogeneity and the external quantum efficiency (EQE) were secured when using 2,2′,2″-(1,3,5-Benzinetriyl)-tris(1-phenyl-1-H-benzimidazole (TPBi) additive in the layer preparation process. Excitation dependent PL intensity, decay time, and IQE revealed that the high emission efficiency of the layers originates from a dominant radiative localized exciton recombination (130 ns) weakly influenced by the nonradiative free carrier recombination (750 ns). Warm and cool white LEDs with correlated color temperature 3000 K and 5600 K, and color rendering index 82 and 74, respectively, were realized by using the optimized perovskite layers, poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV) red emitter and a blue LED.
