InN and their ternary compounds display a promising potential for optoelectronics applications
particularly laser diodes emitting in blue and ultraviolet range.These materials are well suited to form semiconductor quantum well and superlattices in many optoelectroic devices.There is an increasing interest nowadays in the quantum wells generated by nitrides GaN AlN
In Nand their ternary compounds due to conspicuous device applications
such as high-brightness blue(or green) light emitting diodes and laser diodes.However
the properties of the nitride parabolic quantum well materials
to our knowledge
have rarely been investigated.The parabolic quantum well structure has been successfully fabricated by the molecular beam epitaxy growth method.There are two kinds of parabolic quantum well
one is compositional parabolic quantum well
and another is doping parabolic quantum well.Therefore
the research of the nitride parabolic quantum well materials is very needed.In this paper
