Abstract

Herein, the impact of arsenolite oxide (As2O3) crystallites on the structural and optical properties of porous gallium arsenide (GaAs) is examined, focusing on understanding the potential passivation effect and its influence on material stability and safety. Utilizing a comprehensive set of analytical methods, including cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopy, Raman scattering spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction, the interaction between the GaAs substrate and arsenolite crystallites is characterized. The results indicate that the crystallites do not significantly alter the electronic and optical properties of the underlying GaAs, suggesting a possible passivating effect that could enhance device performance. However, concerns regarding arsenolite's environmental stability and toxicity prompt a cautious approach to its application. Herein, the need for further research into conditions conducive to natural oxide formation, exploration of alternative passivation strategies, and development of safe and stable oxide layers is underscored. Reproducible results are necessary to confirm the differences in CL signals between samples, as the current findings are based on single measurements.

晶态氧化砷矿对多孔砷化镓影响的研究

本文研究了氧化砷（As2O3）晶体对多孔砷化镓（GaAs）结构和光学特性的影响，重点是了解潜在的钝化效应及其对材料稳定性和安全性的影响。利用阴极发光 (CL) 光谱法、拉曼散射光谱法和 X 射线衍射法等一整套分析方法，对砷化镓基底和砷化镓晶体之间的相互作用进行了表征。结果表明，这些结晶不会显著改变底层砷化镓的电子和光学特性，这表明砷化镓可能具有钝化效应，从而提高器件性能。然而，由于人们对亚砷酸盐的环境稳定性和毒性存在担忧，因此对其应用持谨慎态度。因此，需要进一步研究有利于自然氧化物形成的条件、探索替代钝化策略以及开发安全稳定的氧化物层。由于目前的研究结果是基于单次测量得出的，因此需要可重复的结果来确认不同样品之间 CL 信号的差异。
