Popis: | Dilute III-V alloys containing N or Bi share many features that are common, but some that are distinct. In GaP and GaAs, both the substituent species N and Bi behave as isoelectronic impurity traps and both lead to a giant bandgap bowing phenomenon. The isolated N and Bi impurities generate bound states in GaP but resonant states in GaAs. N impurity pairs have been observed as bound states in GaP and in GaAs whereas Bi impurity pairs have not been observed a bound states in GaP nor in GaAs. Low temperature photoluminescence studies on GaAs 1-x Bi x show undulations in the spectra but these are not associated with Bi-Bi pairs. Theoretical arguments for the differing behaviour of the N and Bi isolated impurities in GaAs as a function of pressure are provided. |
