Transitions involving ground states were strong in the 2.6 nm well, weak in the 5.2 nm well, and absent in the 10.4 nm well. Pressure coefficients of PL lines have been used to estimate the electric field in the wells. In the widest well, the field seems to be fully screened (at high excitation powers). Simulations involving Poisson and Schr\u00f6dinger equations allowed us to identify the experimental PL lines. Pressure evolution of the PL spectra agreed with the simulation. We present diagrams showing the dependence of the field in the well on pressure and on carrier concentration. In wide wells, these diagrams illustrate the transition from a 2D-like system to a 3D-like system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma19122473","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,10]],"date-time":"2026-06-10T00:58:12Z","timestamp":1781053092000},"page":"2473","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantum-Confined Stark Effect in Polar InGaN\/GaN Quantum Wells of Different Widths Studied by Photoluminescence Under Hydrostatic Pressure"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5670-0511","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tadek","family":"Suski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7630-2556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Staszczak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4871-1069","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Witold","family":"Trzeciakowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7631-4055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lukas","family":"Uhlig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3520-2764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jannina Jacqueline","family":"Tepa\u00df","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Physics, Chemnitz University of Technology, 09126 Chemnitz, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9732-6119","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mateusz","family":"Hajdel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7430-3838","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Grzegorz","family":"Muzio\u0142","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of High Pressure Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences, 01-142 Warsaw, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"231111","DOI":"10.1063\/1.4903297","article-title":"High light extraction efficiency in bulk-GaN based volumetric violet light-emitting diodes","volume":"105","author":"David","year":"2014","journal-title":"Appl.
