摘要
Density functional modeling of Er and Er-O complexes in GaAs show that Er impurities at the Ga site are not efficient channels for exciton recombination, but decorative O atoms play crucial roles in inhibiting Er precipitation and in creating the necessary conditions for electron-hole capture. Among the defects studied, the ErGaOAs and Er-Ga(O-As)(2) models have the symmetry and carrier trap location close to the defect responsible for the strong 1.54 mum photoluminescence band in Er, O codoped GaAs.
