Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. (a) [110]-pole TEM pattern of fully disordered lightly Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P sample with n = 7 × 10 16 cm − 3 . (b) SEM image of the etch pits of Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P film, and EPD = ( 3 ± 0.5 ) × 10 6 cm − 2 .
Fig. 2. Temperature-dependent normalized PL spectra (6–300 K) of Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P samples with (a) n = 7 × 10 16 cm − 3 , (b) n = 9 × 10 17 cm − 3 , and (c) n = 2 × 10 18 cm − 3 . The positions of NP x , LA x , and DAP emission peaks from Ref. [3] are labeled, and their positions are indicated by dashed black lines. Solid red lines and arrows indicate the positions of direct band emission, shifting with increasing temperature.
Fig. 3. Peak positions of Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P samples versus temperature. The data points marked with green stars are from Ref. [3]. Dashed lines are fitted to derive the thermal coefficients of the Γ band.
Fig. 4. Temperature-dependent PL spectra (175–300 K) of Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P samples with (a) S01, n = 7 × 10 16 cm − 3 , (b) S02, n = 9 × 10 17 cm − 3 , and (c) S03, n = 2 × 10 18 cm − 3 .
Fig. 5. Arrhenius plot of integrated PL intensity versus temperature for Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P samples with n = 9 × 10 17 cm − 3 (red dots) and n = 2 × 10 18 cm − 3 (blue diamonds). The activation energies, E a , were derived from the fitted dashed lines.
Fig. 6. Integrated PL intensity (black squares) of Te-doped Ga 0.74 In 0.26 P samples and their corresponding peak emission energy (blue circles) versus doping concentration at room temperature. Curve fitting (blue solid line) shows an approximate linear regression of emission energy with increasing doping concentration due to BGN effect.
