摘要
We report on the results of optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy measurements on InSbBi layers grown by liquid phase technique. A maximum Bi content of 0.4 at.%, as measured by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique, is used in the experiments. Optical absorption measurements made on the samples indicate a room temperature energy band gap reduction up to about 6 meV with respect to undoped InSb layers grown by the same technique. Bi content calculated from this band gap reduction agrees with that obtained from EDX. A weak peak obtained at 152 cm(-1) in the Raman spectrum of the material is identified with the longitudinal optical phonon mode of InBi. Further a mode at 140 cm(-1) is observed due to isolated Bi atoms at the interstitial sites. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
