摘要
We review our investigation of cubic GaN films on (001) GaAs, focusing on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of these films. Cubic GaN films grown epitaxially on GaAs suffer from the large lattice mismatch between these two materials in that they contain extremely high densities of structural defects. Surprisingly, the optical quality of these films does not seem much affected by the presence of defects, as intense photoluminescence is detected a? room temperature and above. Finally, the rather high background electron concentrations in our films is shown to be a consequence of contamination with O and not to be an intrinsic property of cubic phase GaN.
