Popis: The fundamental absorption edge of AlAs and AlP was investigated by optical transmission measurements from 2° to 300°K. The absorption edge in both materials is dominated by indirect optical transitions, and values of E g at 300°K are 2.45 eV for AlP and 2.16 eV for AlAs. The bandgaps at 0° are 2.52 eV and 2.238 eV respectively. The absorption edge structure in AlAs is consistent with the conduction band minima at or near X . It includes impurity-induced bound and free exciton components and phonon-assisted components. The corresponding phonon energies of 13( TA ), 27( LA ) 42( TO ) and 50 meV ( LO ) have been identified in AlAs.
