Abstrakt: Ga0.5In0.5P grown lattice matched to GaAs by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) exhibited domains of varying degrees of column III sublattice ordering. Continuous-wave photoluminescence spectra were single peaked and relatively narrow, but the peak wavelengths from samples grown at low (630–670 °C) temperatures varied strongly with excitation density at low measurement temperatures, while peak wavelength did not vary for high (775 °C) temperature growth. The half width was 6.5 meV in the latter case, the narrowest reported from MOCVD-grown Ga0.5In0.5P. Time-resolved photoluminescence of partially ordered GaInP at liquid-helium temperatures is reported for the first time. For samples grown at low temperatures, the spectral peak displayed a slow (τ>=1 μs) decay at low excitation density. The decay was more rapid (τ=1.8 ns) at higher excitations and at higher photon emission energies. Possible explanations discussed include spatial separation of carriers and trapping.
