摘要：

The optical properties of molecular-beam-epitaxy-grown GaN with different Mn-doping levels (5-23x10(19) cm(-3)) were studied by cathodoluminescence (CL) and optical transmission spectroscopy. Transmission measurements at 2 K revealed an absorption peak at 1.414+/-0.002 eV, which was attributed to an internal T-5(2)-->E-5 transition of the neutral Mn3+ state. The intensity of this Mn-related transmission peak was found to scale with the Mn3+ concentration. The CL measurements showed that Mn-doping concentrations around 10(20) cm(-3) reduced the near band edge emission intensity by around one order of magnitude. A complete quenching of the donor-acceptor-pair band at 3.27 eV and strong decrease of the yellow luminescence centered at 2.2 eV were attributed to a reduced concentration of V-Ga. In the infrared spectral range of 0.8-1.4 eV three broad, Mn-doping related CL emission bands centered at 1.01+/-0.02, 1.09+/-0.02, and 1.25+/-0.03 eV were observed. Their origin is attributed to deep donor complexes, which are generated as a result of the heavy Mn-doping. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
