Cu Induced Optical Transitions in MOCVD Grown Cu Doped GaN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Optical and structural properties of in situ Cu doped GaN thin films grown on sapphire substrates were optically investigated by means of Raman, photoluminescence (PL), and absorption spectroscopy. Different Cu concentrations in the films were analyzed by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) and found to vary from 2x10 cm to 5x10 cm. Raman studies confirmed high crystalline quality of GaN:Cu with no major structural damages due to Cu incorporation. PL investigation revealed that the origin of the emission around 2.4 eV is most likely due to Cu incorporation. The electrical conductivity of the samples was analyzed by Hall measurements and the found semi-insulating behavior was assigned to the compensation of intrinsic donors by the deep Cu acceptor states.

Optical Excitation of Er Centers in GaN Epilayers grown by MOCVD
In this paper we present results of photoluminescence (PL), photoluminescence excitation (PLE), and time resolved PL spectroscopy of the I13/2 → I15/2 transition in Er optical centers in GaN epilayers grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Under resonance excitation via the higher-lying inner 4f shell transitions and band-to-band excitation of the semiconductor host, the PL and PLE s...
متن کاملSpectroscopic studies of Er-centers in MOCVD grown GaN layers highly doped with Er
We report on the high-resolution photoluminescence (PL) and electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of highly Er-doped (2× 1020 to × 1021 cm−3) MOCVD grown GaN epilayers. The high-resolution Fourier transform of the 4I → 4I PL of Er3+ near 1.5 m, site-selective 13/2 15/2 L and PL excitation measurements show that in MOCVD grown GaN only one type of Er-centers exists. This conclusion has been conf...

Cu doping of ZnTe, which is an important semiconductor for various optoelectronic applications, has been successfully achieved previously by several techniques. However, besides its electrical transport characteristics, other physical and chemical properties of heavily Cu-doped ZnTe have not been reported. We found an interesting self-assembled formation of crystalline well-aligned Cu-Te nano-r...

Photoluminescence (PL) properties are reported for a set of m-plane GaN films with Mg doping varied from mid 10 18 cm -3 to well above 10 19 cm -3 . The samples were grown with MOCVD at reduced pressure on low defect density m-plane bulk GaN templates. The sharp line near bandgap bound exciton (BE) spectra observed below 50 K, as well as the broader donor-acceptor pair (DAP) PL bands at 2.9 eV ...
