Influence of growth temperature and disorder on spectral and temporal properties of Ga(NAsP) heterostructures

Abstract

We have studied the optical properties of Ga(NAsP)-heterostructures, which were systematically grown at different temperatures by means of continuous-wave and time-resolved photoluminescence. We show that both the long ranged and the short ranged disorder scales increase for higher growth temperatures. Furthermore, samples with a higher disorder not only emit less photoluminescence (PL) intensity but also exhibit a longer effective PL decay time.
