OPTICAL PROPERTIES AND BAND LINEUP IN GaN_x As_( 1-x) /GaAs SINGLE QUANTUM WELLS

用光荧光谱 (PL )研究了 Ga Nx As1 - x/ Ga As单量子阱 (SQW)的光跃迁性质和带阶 .通过研究积分荧光强度与激发强度的关系及光谱峰值位置与温度的关系 ,发现 Ga Nx As1 - x/ Ga As单量子阱中的发光是本征带 -带跃迁 ,并且低温发光是局域激子发光 .通过自洽计算发现它的导带带阶 (ΔEc)与氮含量的关系不是纯粹的线性关系 ,其平均变化速率 (0 .110 e V / N% )比文献中报道的要慢得多 (0 .15 6～ 0 .175 e V / N% ) ,此外发现 Qc(=ΔEc/Δ Eg)随氮含量的变化很小 ,可以用 Qc≈ x0 .2 5 来表示 .还研究了 Ga Nx As1 - x/ Ga As单量子阱中氮含量的变化对能带弯曲参数 (b)

The optical properties and the band lineup in GaNAs/GaAs single quantum wells (SQWs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using photoluminescence (PL) technique were investigated. It was found that the low-temperature PL is dominated by the intrinsic localized exciton emission. By fitting the experimental datawith a simple calculation, band offset of the GaN0.015As0.985/GaAs heterostructure was estimated. Moreover, DeltaE(c), the discontinuity of the conduction band was found to be a nonlinear function of the nitrogen composition (chi) and the average variation of DeltaE(c) is about 0. 110eV per % N, such smaller than that reported on the literature to (0.156 similar to 0.175 eV/N %). In addition, Qc has little change whtn N composition increares, with an experimential relation of QC approximate tox(0.25). The band bowing coefficient (b) was also studied in this paper. The measured band bowing coefficient shows a strong function of chi, giving an experimental support to the theoretic calculation of Wei Su-Huai and Zunger Alex (1996).
