摘要
Optical properties and carrier recombination dynamics of a series of InN epilayers, with varying free electron concentrations, grown by molecular beam epitaxy were studied by steady-state photoluminescence (PL) and time-resolved differential transmission spectroscopy. At room temperature strong PL around 0.7 eV was observed. Temperature-dependent PL measurements show a redshift of the peak energy and a linear increase of the emission linewidth with temperature. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that room temperature carrier lifetimes are inversely proportional to the free electron concentrations for theses samples. Carrier lifetime as long as 1.3 ns was observed in the best quality sample, indicating a highly improved crystalline quality. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
