ABSTRACTThe effect of hydrogenation on the photoluminescence (PL) of InP : Mg, InP : Zn and undoped n-InP is presented. An increase in the near band edge pl intensity due to passivation of non-radiative centers was observed in all the samples. A donor - acceptor pair transition was observed before hydrogenation in the InP : Mg sample and after hydrogenation in the InP : Zn sample due to the acceptor deactivation. In n-InP the enhancement of donor bound exciton after hydrogenation points to the absence of donor passivation.

New sharp line structure observed in the near-band-edge (1030 to 1135 meV) photoluminescence of Si(P, In) and Si(B, In) at temperatures ranging from 1.6 to 20 K, has been identified as due to radiative recombination of electrons bound to phosphorus donors with holes bound to indium acceptors. This is the first study of sharp line, donor–acceptor pair luminescence in silicon. Straightforward analysis, assuming only Coulomb and van der Waals interactions between otherwise isolated donor and acceptor centres indicates that recombination involving P and In centres separated by distances ranging from 7.7 to 20 Å is responsible for the observed sharp line structure. This structure is superimposed on the high energy shoulder of the broad band luminescence associated with recombination involving distant (average separation: 55 Å) P–In pairs. Transient measurements indicate decay times ranging from 70 to 100 μs for the most prominent sharp lines and an overall decay pattern consistent with that expected for donor–acceptor pair recombination.

AbstractFree and bound exciton luminescences as well as donor-acceptor pair recombination of GaN epitaxial layers on 6H-SiC and sapphire substrates were investigated using time integrated and time resolved photoluminescence measurements at low temperatures. Lifetimes are determined for the donor bound exciton at 3.4722eV and for two acceptor bound excitons with energies of 3.4672eV and 3.459eV. Luminescences between 3.29eV and 3.37eV are identified as due to excitons deeply bound to centers located near the substrate-epilayer interface.

ABSTRACTThe temperature and excitation intensity dependence of photoluminescence (PL) spectra have been studied in thin films of SiC grown by chemical vapor deposition on Si (100) substrates. The low power PL spectra from all samples exhibited a donor-acceptor pair PL band which involves a previously undetected deep acceptor whose binding energy is approximately 470 meV. This deep acceptor is found in every sample studied independent of growth reactor, suggesting the possibility that this background acceptor is at least partially responsible for the high compensation observed in Hall effect studies of undoped films of cubic SiC.

We report on the time-resolved luminescence of the defect-related violet band from undoped AlN epitaxial layers grown on sapphire and SiC. For both measurements in photoluminescence and in cathodoluminescence a decay of algebraic nature at long times is observed. This is typical for donor-acceptor pair transitions. We compare the behavior of this band to that of the generically yellow luminescence of GaN.

Exciplexes may be formed by exciting either partner of a given electron donor-acceptor pair. As the formation of such exciplexes is reversible, dissociation may lead to excitation energy transfer. ��� The temperature dependence of fluorescence excitation spectra has proved to be a powerful tool for exploring these systems.
