Abstract

We report on narrow photoluminescence (PL) spectra obtained from spatially localized excitons in InGaN quantum wells (QW). These PL lines (less than 1 meV wide) are clearly detected in QWs on several buffer structures and substrates with the micro-PL technique in low temperature regions. A narrow PL spectrum is one of the characteristics of an exciton confined in a quantum dot (QD). Our results directly confirm that QD-like nano-objects exist in InGaN QWs.
