GaP light diodes were treated by ultrasound wave in different operating modes. Electroluminescence spectra were measured at room and low temperatures, integrated luminosity of devices was checked by solar cell. In order to find out the radiation field influence on non-equilibrium defects of acoustic origin samples were irradiated at room temperature by gamma rays of Co60. It has been discovered that in GaP light diodes treated by ultrasound unstable at room temperature dislocation networks occur at the volume of crystal. Ultrasound dose increase causes the creation of complex defects with high relaxation time and appearing of a part of more mobile defect,s which relax quicker. The nature of effects discovered has been discussed. The method of the emissive capacity restoring of samples degraded after irradiation have been proposed.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122197495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electrical resistivity, carrier density and Hall mobility values at 77K and IR transmission at 300K have been measured in n,p and compensated epilayers both before and after irradiation. These properties are very much affected by these radiations. In the uncompensated p-type epitaxial layers both types of radiation produced an increase in extrinsic carrier density and a corresponding decrease in Hall mobility. It is observed that both types of radiation have significant effect on the compensated layers and the degree of compensation is greatly reduced by the oxygen irradiation. The 100 Mev oxygen irradiation produced an apparent shift in the bandgap towards shorter wavelength and the absorption below the energy gap is reduced as shown by FTIR measurements, whereas Gamma ray radiation up to the dose 650 Grey did not have any effect on optical properties. These results show the ability of oxygen radiation to passivate the activity of residual impurities or defects.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114767516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
