摘要
Several novel features are observed in the low-temperature photoluminescence spectra of AlxGa1-xAs layers grown on GaAs by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. GaAs substrate luminescence spectra are observed through AlxGa1-xAs layers as thick as 22 μm. Both carrier diffusion to the substrate and AlxGa 1-xAs luminescence are identified as the excitation mechanisms of the GaAs luminescence, and a minority-carrier diffusion length of 10 μm is estimated. The presence of photon recycling in the AlxGa 1-xAs layers is demonstrated by comparison of photoluminescence (PL) spectra for layers with and without GaAs substrates, as well as PL examination of two AlxGa1-xAs heterostructures.
