What is it about?

Grow the structure on a relaxed InGaN buffer. This way the strain in the GaN is higher but the one in the InGaN superlattice is lower. All together a dramatic improvement in quantum efficiency is expected.

Why is it important?

The work suggest a strategy for increasing LED efficiency. It is a massive global market.

Perspectives

We noticed that this work did make sense of reports of increased efficiency for LEDs grown on InGaN substrates. Nice to find experimental validation.
