In this talk, I will discuss results from atomistic calculations that uncover the mechanisms that limit the efficiency of UV light emitters and predict excitonic heterostructures with improved efficiency. In particular, I will show how Fermi-level control during the growth of p-type AlGaN contacts can promote acceptor incorporation and decrease charge compensation, increasing the electrical conductivity. I will also discuss the detrimental role of statistically random alloy disorder in AlGaN to the efficiency of carrier transport and recombination. Alternatively, we propose atomically thin GaN/AlN superlattices and quantum wells as a mechanism to improve the carrier mobility and to form stable excitons at room temperature that increase the radiative recombination rate. I will also discuss how the integration of hexagonal BN with nitride heterostructures is a promising material to realize efficient excitonic UV light emitters despite its indirect band gap.
