We present an investigation of free-carrier screening in coupled asymmetric GaN quantum discs with embedded AlGaN barriers using time-integrated and time-resolved microphotoluminescence measurements, supported by three-dimensional multiband k (.) p computational modeling. We observe that with increasing optical excitation the carrier lifetime decreases and emission energy blueshifts. This originates from the screening of built-in piezo- and pyroelectric fields in the quantum discs by photogenerated free carriers. Due to nonresonant tunneling of carriers from the smaller disk to the larger disk, free-carrier screening is enhanced in the larger disk. Computational modeling was in good agreement with the experimental results. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
