The present invention is generally directed to a method of suppressing the Auger rate in confined structures, comprising replacing an abrupt confinement potential with either a smooth confinement potential or a confinement potential of a certain size found by increasing the confinement potential width until the Auger recombination rate undergoes strong oscillations and establishes a periodic minima. In addition, the present invention provides for the design of structures with high quantum efficiency.
