Popis: We studied the recombination at about 3.410 eV in nominally undoped GaN and highly oxygen-doped GaN by photoluminescence (PL) and cathodoluminescence (CL). For this line we find an upper limit for the thermal activation energy of EA⩽21±3 meV. In time-resolved PL, lifetimes of 300–480 ps are observed indicating excitonic recombination. The defect giving rise to this emission can be created by Ar+ ion implantation. In conclusion, the 3.410 eV luminescence is attributed to excitons bound to structural defects in hexagonal GaN.
