Abstract

Photoluminescence (PL) spectra were measured at room temperature for GaN quantum wells (QWs) with Al0.8Ga0.2N barriers, which were grown by atmospheric-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The thickness of the GaN QW layers was systematically varied from one monolayer to four monolayers. We clearly observed a PL peak at a wavelength as short as 247 nm (5.03 eV) from one monolayer-thick QWs. The effective confinement energy is as large as 1.63 eV.
