Anomalous photoluminescence in InP1−xBix
نویسندگان
چکیده
Low temperature photoluminescence (PL) from InP1-xBix thin films with Bi concentrations in the 0-2.49% range reveals anomalous spectral features with strong and very broad (linewidth of 700 nm) PL signals compared to other bismide alloys. Multiple transitions are observed and their energy levels are found much smaller than the band-gap measured from absorption measurements. These transitions are related to deep levels confirmed by deep level transient spectroscopy, which effectively trap free holes and enhance radiative recombination. The broad luminescence feature is beneficial for making super-luminescence diodes, which can theoretically enhance spatial resolution beyond 1 μm in optical coherent tomography (OCT).

متن کاملFormation of pollen apertures in Arabidopsis requires an interplay between male meiosis, development of INP1-decorated plasma membrane domains, and the callose wall
In most plant species, surfaces of pollen grains display characteristic patterns of apertures, formed by the gaps in the pollen wall exine. The aperture patterns are species-specific and tend to be very precise, with pollen of each species usually developing a certain number of apertures placed at distinct positions and acquiring specific morphology. The precision with which pollen apertures ar...

The electronic structure and optical properties of ternary GaAs:Bi alloy are investigated by first principles calculations. It is found that the band gap of GaAs1-xBix decreases monotonously with the increasing of Bi concentration, resulting in the fundamental absorption edge and main absorption peaks of GaAs1-xBix shifting toward lower energy with the increase of the Bi content. The optical co...
