Abstrakt: InAsBi layers with different bismuth content were grown on InAs substrates by solid source MBE. The amount of bismuth incorporated in the layers was estimated using X-ray diffraction measurements. The relaxation degree of the grown crystalline layers was evaluated using reciprocal space map analysis. The intervalley energy separation in the conduction band of InAsBi was studied by Terahertz Excitation Spectroscopy. It has been found that this separation slightly decreases with increasing Bi content. In the studied samples with Bi content varying from 2.7% to 4.5% the Γ- L separation shifts down to about 0.9 eV.
