Abstract
We study the possibilities of increasing the light-emission intensity of quantum wells. We describe the influence of the quantum-well width and the effective mass of charge carriers on the radiation intensity. Since the formation of negatively charged layers near the quantum well can increase the photon emission, we propose to form the charged layers with the use of ion implantation. The results of the study can be implemented in the field of quantum-size light-emitting structures and sensors.
