Abstract

Piezo-phototronic effect is unique for effectively controlling semiconductor and photonic properties by strain-induced piezoelectric field. In this work, we theoretically explore piezo-phototronic effect on intersubband optical absorption of wurtzite-structured AlGaN/GaN quantum well by self-consist...
