The optical properties of metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy grown AlyInxGa1−x−yN quantum dot structures have been studied by time-resolved photoluminescence experiments. We investigated the recombination dynamics of the photo-exited carriers in dependence of the growth parameters such as aluminium flow and the duration of the growth interruption after the dot deposition. Our results confirm the presence of localized states, where the degree of localization is strongly dependent on the growth conditions. To describe this behavior, we propose a band structure with coupled potentials for these nanostructures. Finally, we demonstrate state filling to prove the zero-dimensional character of the strongly localized states in our quaternary quantum dots.

AbstractWe report the optical characteristics of 100 A˚ thick GaAs/Ga0.521n0.48P single quantum wells grown by Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy. We have confirmed from the 77 K photoluminescence (PL) that an optimum growth sequence is necessary to achieve the emission from the well (1.52 eV), otherwise only the deep emission band (1.46 eV) is observed. From the time-resolved photoluminescence and temperature dependent PL measurements, we assign that this 1.46 eV deep emission is a recombination of electron-hole pair in a vacancy-related defect which is spatially distributed at the imperfect GaAs/Ga 0.521n0.48P interface.

It is imperative to determine the dependence of the quality and characteristics of the epitaxial film on different growth parameters. A mathematical model has been developed showing the effect of different growth parameters e.g. temperature, TMI and TEG flow rate, molar ratio on epitaxial film. This model is considered for InGaN film on GaN template with an Indium mole fraction up to 0.4 by Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). The results obtained from this model has been compared and fitted with experimentally obtained data through XRD, RSM, PL, SEM etc. Finally, a phase diagram has been proposed to interpret the phase separation and Indium content evolution under the influence of growth temperature and precursor gas flow.

We comprehensively studied InGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using a variety of methods of optical spectroscopy, such as cathodoluminescence microscopy (CL), time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence. To correlate the fluctuations in emission wavelength with values for the optical amplification we performed gain measurements in edge-stripe geometry. The lateral homogeneity can be drastically improved using a template of GaN grown on the sapphire substrate by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Gain values up to 62 cm−1 were found in samples with low indium fluctuations, which is comparable to values for high-quality InGaN/GaN heterostructures grown by MOVPE.

Light-emitting properties of Ge-on-Si(001) layers doped by Sb were studied by stationary and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) at room temperature. It was obtained that the PL intensity of n-Ge/Si(001) structures is maximized when the doping level is close to the equilibrium solubility of Sb in Ge (~1019 cm-3) which is in accordance with the previously published data. Time-resolved studies of the direct-related PL signal have shown that both the donor density and the growth conditions of doped layer, in particular, the growth temperature influence the PL kinetics. It was obtained that the increase of doping level leads to the decrease of the characteristic carrier lifetime. Moreover, usage of low growth temperatures which is needed to form the doped n-Ge layers also results in shortening of the carrier lifetime as compared with Ge layers grown at high temperatures. It was found that rapid thermal anneal at proper conditions could partially compensate the above mentioned detrimental effects and lead to the increase of both the PL intensity and carrier lifetime.

Undoped and doped layers of gallium arsenide and aluminium gallium arsenide have been grown on gallium arsenide by low-pressure metal organic vapour-phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Delta doping and growth on silicon substrates have also been attempted. Of particular interest in the present study has been the influence of growth parameters, such as growth temperature, group III mole fraction and dopant flow, on the electrical and physical properties of gallium arsenide layers. An increase in growth temperature leads to increased doping efficiency in the case of silicon, whereas the opposite is true in the case of zinc. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DTLS) studies on undoped GaAs layers showed two levels, the expected EL2 level and a carbon-related level. The determination of optimum growth conditions has allowed good quality GaAs and AlGaAs epitaxial layers to be produced for a range of applications.`

We investigate influence of GaAs buffer layer (BL) growth parameters such as temperature and thickness on the structural, morphological, crystalline and optical quality of metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) grown heterostructures of GaAs on Ge. It was found that the optimal BL conditions significantly decrease the effects of anti-phase boundaries (APBs) even when grown on offcut Ge substrate by two-step growth technique with AsH3 pre-flow to promote double atomic step formation. It is observed that as the growth temperature increases, the growth rate of the GaAs BL increases, too. Improvement on the structural quality is observed up to BLs temperature of 535 °C, then it decreases. On the other hand, as the different thick BLs, 12, 25, 75 nm are considered, the epilayer grown on the 25 nm thick BL has shown the lowest full width at half maximum (FWHM) value, large photoluminescence peak intensity and internal quantum efficiency (IQE).
