Luminescence properties of homoepitaxial Mg-doped GaN under different doping concentrations and annealing atmospheres
The luminescence properties of p-type GaN thin films grown on high-quality GaN FS substrates, with Mg doping concentrations ranging from 5 × 1018 cm−3 to 8 × 1019 cm−3, were investigated using low-temperature and room-temperature PL and CL spectra. The UVL peak at 3.27 eV and the two BL peaks at 3.05 eV and 2.7 eV observed in the sample have been identified. These peaks are attributed to different defect states introduced by Mg doping in GaN. Their correlation with the UVL peak and the two BL peaks has been established, providing insight into the acceptor energy levels induced by Mg doping. At different doping concentrations, annealing has a varying impact on the luminescence peaks. It was observed that the BL2 peak at 2.7 eV competes with the UVL peak. Annealing in N2 produces higher-intensity UVL peaks than annealing in O2, indicating that N2 annealing is more beneficial for activating MgGa acceptors compared to O2 annealing in c-plane homoepitaxial GaN.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of the Journal of Luminescence is to provide a means of communication between scientists in different disciplines who share a common interest in the electronic excited states of molecular, ionic and covalent systems, whether crystalline, amorphous, or liquid.
We invite original papers and reviews on such subjects as: exciton and polariton dynamics, dynamics of localized excited states, energy and charge transport in ordered and disordered systems, radiative and non-radiative recombination, relaxation processes, vibronic interactions in electronic excited states, photochemistry in condensed systems, excited state resonance, double resonance, spin dynamics, selective excitation spectroscopy, hole burning, coherent processes in excited states, (e.g. coherent optical transients, photon echoes, transient gratings), multiphoton processes, optical bistability, photochromism, and new techniques for the study of excited states. This list is not intended to be exhaustive. Papers in the traditional areas of optical spectroscopy (absorption, MCD, luminescence, Raman scattering) are welcome. Papers on applications (phosphors, scintillators, electro- and cathodo-luminescence, radiography, bioimaging, solar energy, energy conversion, etc.) are also welcome if they present results of scientific, rather than only technological interest. However, papers containing purely theoretical results, not related to phenomena in the excited states, as well as papers using luminescence spectroscopy to perform routine analytical chemistry or biochemistry procedures, are outside the scope of the journal. Some exceptions will be possible at the discretion of the editors.
