Atomic arrangement and emission properties of GaAs(In, Sb)N quantum wells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fine structure related to different types of atomic arrangements (short-range order, phase separation and quantum dots) was observed in high-spatial-resolution low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaAsInN, GaAsSbN and GaAsInSbN quantum wells (QWs) containing ∼1.5% N and emitting at 1.2–1.3 μm. Using photoreflectance and temperature-dependent PL spectroscopy, we measured the activation energies and band-tail width of localized states, associated with different atomic arrangements, to be 5–66 meV. We found that the emission intensity in these GaAs(In, Sb)N QWs weakly depends on carrier localization and that it is limited at cryogenic temperatures by exciton scattering by N interstitials, while at room temperature it is limited by an intrinsic non-radiative recombination channel having activation energy of ∼60 meV and capture time between 0.01 and 1 ps.

Growth of strained GaAs 1 y Sb y and GaAs 1 y z Sb y N z quantum wells on InP substrates
The metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth conditions and properties of fully strained GaAs1 y zSbyNz/InP multiquantum wells (MQWs) are investigated. Higher Sb incorporation within the strained GaAs1 ySby layers was observed when using a higher Sb/(As+Sb) precursor ratio and higher growth temperature. However, lattice-latching effects and the strain values ultimately limit the maximum...

Optical Studies of Gaassbn Alloys and Their Quantum Well Heterostructures
In this work, the growth and properties of GaAsSbN single quantum wells are investigated. The heterostructures were grown on GaAs substrates in an elemental solid source molecular beam epitaxy system with a RF plasma nitrogen source. A systematic study has been carried out to determine the influence of growth temperature on the optical properties of the layers. For reference low temperature pho...
