Red shift in the photoluminescence of indium gallium arsenide nitride induced by annealing in nitrogen trifluoride
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of annealing a 75nm-thick layer of indium gallium arsenide nitride (InGaAsN) in 1.0 10 6 Torr of nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) has been studied by photoluminescence spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and hydrogen adsorption infrared spectroscopy. A red shift of 25 nm in the peak was observed following heating in NF3 at 530 1C. The compressive strain of the InGaAsN was reduced under annealing in NF3 ambient, while it increased under annealing in AsH3 ambient. It is concluded that N atoms diffuse into the alloy during the NF3 exposure at 530 1C and increase the nitrogen concentration from about 1.2–1.7%. r 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملEnhancing the Luminescence Efficiency of GaSb-Based Dilute-Nitrides by Rapid Thermal Annealing
It has been shown that gallium antimonide (GaSb)-based dilute-nitrides display improved photoluminescence (PL) with in situ annealing in the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth chamber under a Sb ambient. This improvement in luminescence efficiency translates into improved performance of optoelectronic devices, such as lasers, where this will lead to a reduction in threshold current densities. ...

The effects of ex-situ annealing in a N2 ambient on the properties of GaAs/GaAsSbN/GaAs core-multi-shell nanowires on Si (111) substrate grown by self-catalyzed molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) are reported. As-grown nanowires exhibit band edge emission at ~0.99 eV with a shoulder peak at ~0.85 eV, identified to arise from band tail states. A large red shift of 7 cm(-1) and broadened Raman spectra ...

In this work, investigations on gallium indium nitride (GaInN) quantum well structures as optochemical transducers in biosensing are presented. In contrast to the conventional electrical read-out of III-nitride-based sensors, a purely optical photoluminescence read-out is performed. Particularly, optical investigations of the iron-storage molecule ferritin deposited on GaInN quantum wells are p...
