N samples grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) have been investigated
and the analysis of structural and optical behaviors has been taken to study the existence of the microstructure InGaN alloys on the basis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements.XRD reveals that the sample is a single crystalline In

N sample show almost uniform island-like microstructure appearing to be composed of granular-crystalline in nanometer scale. The islands composed of the grapes-like have an average height of 10 nm at most and a mean size of 300 nm. The self-organized microstructure appeared to form cone and/or pyramid shape and tended to agglomerate island-like surface with RMS roughness about 10 nm
which attributed to Stranski-Krastanov growth mechanism. The comparison between PLE and PL under different exciting or monitoring energy allows determining the existence of wetting layer (WL)in the sample. The PLE and PL measurements show that the resonant absorption is related to the band gap and wetting layer of the alloy at different exciting and monitoring energy. It has been found that PLE peaks of the In

N alloy are dominated by 365 nm and 474 nm with monitoring wavelength 545 nm and 493 nm; the broad 545 nm and narrow 493 nm emission peaks are originated from In(Ga)N wetting layer and InGaN region respectively. The structural and optical analyses suggest that the origin of the exciton localization center is the self-formed islands. Hence
the irrelevancy of the PL spectra to the gap energy was explained in terms of fluctuation resulting from variations in grain size or shape. This type of localized center provides another physical model for the proposed localized states in In
