摘要
The origin of the abrupt decrease with x both in electron concentration and in mobility of Al(x)Ga1-xN in the range of x between 0.4 and 0.6 was investigated by photoluminescence from epitaxial layers covering the entire range of alloy composition. Band edge luminescence from undoped layers was observed out to an x value of 0.75. When x was larger than 0.2, a peak 0.2-0.5 eV below the band edge peak was also observed both from undoped and from Zn doped samples. This is tentatively ascribed to an unidentified acceptor (or acceptors) related to the presence of Al. No luminescence which could be attributed to a deep native donor defect was observed in semi-insulating Al(x)Ga1-xN layers. When Zn was added in the low x range of the alloys, a broad band 0.5-0.8 eV below the band edge peak was observed as well as a relatively narrow peak.
