The effect of the polarization field in wurtzite In0.2Ga0.8N/In1−xGaxN (x>0.8) multiple quantum wells is studied from first principles. The pyroelectric and piezoelectric fields naturally present in the system due to its wurtzite structure are strong enough to reduce the interband recombination rate in an ideal quantum well. We suggest that composition fluctuations, observed in the active region of actual devices, provide the necessary confinement for an improved recombination rate and lasing.
