There has been a lack of research for proper understanding of defects relaxing the strained lattice of InGaN/(Al)GaN quantum wells. This motivates us to find the relation among the defects, the piezoelectric field (FPZ), and the bandgap shrinkage under high injection. In this work, five similar-structure near-ultraviolet (NUV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are used to find systematically that the increase of point defects in the sample decreases both the peak wavelength and FPZ. This effect clearly indicates that the strain relaxation is induced by defects. We propose a model that consistently explain the observed changes in macroscopic characterizations of NUV LEDs.
