Nitride semiconductor heterostructures are widely used for light emitting and laser diodes as well as for high power and high frequency applications. Recently, new application for InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) heterostructures has emerged. It was shown that these heterostructures, if properly designed, can work as very efficient fast scintillators with long lifetime due to their radiation resistance. Although this application does not have such a massive market as LEDs, LDs or HEMTs, there is still very strong demand for fast scintillators and detectors of ionizing radiation due to the expansion of new diagnostic methods in medicine, electron microscopy and nuclear physics.
