Optical Properties of As-Antisite and EL 2 Defects in GaAs

چکیده
This Letter reports the first application of an ESR-tagged magnetic circular dichroism measurement to a paramagnetic deep-level defect in a semiconductor. In semi-insulating GaAs two new absorption bands are found at 1.05 and 1.29 eV. Both bands are identified as intracenter electronic transitions of the As-antisite defect. The analysis of the absorption and concentration data implies that the "dominant electron trap" (EL2) in GaAs is not the As antisite.

Properties of carbon-doped low-temperature GaAs and InP grown by solid-source molecular-beam epitaxy using CBr4
Carbon-doped GaAs and InP grown at low temperatures by molecular-beam epitaxy contain a high concentration of antisite defects which gives rise to ultrafast carrier trapping time and desirable radiation-hard properties. The use of CBr4 as the dopant source introduced significant bromine incorporation during low-temperature ~LT! growth. Incomplete dissociation of the CBr4 molecules gives rise to...
متن کاملObservation of bulk defects by scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy: Arsenic antisite defects in GaAs.
The scanning tunneling microscope is used to study arsenic-related point defects in low-temperaturegrown GaAs. Tunneling spectroscopy reveals a band of donor states located near E„+0. 5 eV arising from the defects. Images of this state reveal a central defect core, with two satellites located about 15 A from the core. The structure of the defect is found to be consistent with that of an isolate...
متن کاملNonstoichiometric Low-Temperature Grown GaAs Nanowires.
The structural and electronic properties of nonstoichiometric low-temperature grown GaAs nanowire shells have been investigated with scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, pump-probe reflectivity, and cathodoluminescence measurements. The growth of nonstoichiometric GaAs shells is achieved through the formation of As antisite defects, and to a lower extent, after annealing, As precipit...

We have reported previously that the perpendicular strain produced in the surface layer (several ~ thick) of GaAs (100) crystals under MeV ion irradiation saturates at ""0. 47. regardless of the doping of the specimen, and that the parallel strain is zero within the experimental error. ~n this paper, the perpendicular strain in GaAs (111) and GaAs (110) crystals saturates at 'V0.3%.

Comparative analysis of the luminescent properties of Y3Al5O12:Ce (YAG:Ce) transparent optical ceramics (OC) with those of single crystal (SC) and single crystalline film (SCF) analogues has been performed under excitation by pulsed synchrotron radiation in the fundamental absorption range of YAG host. It has been shown that the properties of YAG:Ce OC are closer to the properties of the SCF co...
