N quantum well structure are studied by using Lee-Low-Pines (LLP) transition. The ground state
first excited state and transition energies from first excited state to ground state are calculated as a function of well width (

) and depth (

). The results indicate that the ground state
first excited state and transition energies rapidly decrease with increasing the well width at smaller
L
but slowly at larger
L
and finally approach to the bulk value of GaN. The ground state
first excited state and transition energies all slowly increase with increasing
