Abstract :
We calculate the Purcell factor and light extraction efficiency in Ag-coated GaN/InGaN core-shell nanowires using a model that includes the structural features necessary for electrical injection. The nanowires exhibit maximum Purcell factors of ~60 and maximum light extraction efficiencies of ~12%.
