Abstract

The results of studying the effect of neutron irradiation on the spectral characteristics of InxGa1 – xN LEDs are presented. The mechanism responsible for the shift of the maximum of the LED emission spectra under the influence of neutrons is determined. Coherence is shown between the radiation sensitivity of the spectral characteristics of the sample active layers and the composition of the InxGa1 – xN solid solution. An analytical calculation is carried out to estimate the possible maximum shift of the luminescence spectrum of InxGa1 – xN LEDs after neutron exposure.
