Superinjection is a physical effect that underlies modern LEDs and lasers and was believed to occur only in semiconductor heterostructures in the past. Recently, researchers from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) have found that the effect can also occur in homostructures, which opens up new prospects for the development of light sources.
In the 1960’s, Zhores Alferov and Herbert Kroemer proposed to use heterostructures, which consist of two or more complementary semiconductors to generate wider bandgaps, enabling the concentration of electrons and holes in the middle layer to reach higher values. The effect, known as superinjection, allows semiconductors to emit light with frequent recombination of electrons and holes (the free charge carriers in any semiconductor). The technology is the basis of modern semiconductor lasers and LEDs.
