【摘要】 报道了调制掺杂的应变In_0.60Ga_0.40As/In_0.52Al_0.48As多量子阱中室温光致发光光谱.观察到n=1和2电子子带到n=1重空穴子带的强发光峰.在低温下可以观察到n=1电子子带到n=1轻空穴弱发光肩胛.通过对发光强度随激发功率及温度依赖关系以及理论模型的分析研究,认为该调制掺杂量子阱中辐射复合效率降低的主要机制是应变失配位错对载流子的陷阱作用.界面上的失配位错是陷阱的主要来源.并用静态的光致发光理论模型对实验结果进行了解释.更多还原

【Abstract】 The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of the modulation-doped strained In0.60Ga0.40As/In0.52Al0.48As multiple quantum wells (MQW) is reported. In addition to two strong PL peaks related to the recombination between electrons in the first (n = 1), second ( n = 2) subbands and heavy holes in the first ( n = 1) subband, a weak PL shoulder related to the recombination between n = 1 electrons and n = 1 light holes is obsevered at low temperatures. We demonstrate that the main mechanism of the decrease in radiative QW recombination efficiency is due to the carrier trapping on the misfit dislocations, based on the temperature and excitation power dependence of the PL peak intensity and energy and the steady-state PL model.更多还原
