摘要
InxGa1-xAs1-yNy/GaAs single quantum wells emitting at room temperature in the wavelength range lambda=(1.3-1.55) mum have been studied by photoluminescence (PL). By increasing temperature, we find that samples containing nitrogen have a luminescence thermal stability and a room temperature emission efficiency higher than that of the corresponding N-free heterostructures. The temperature dependence of the PL line shape shows a progressive carrier detrapping from localized to extended states as T is increased. Finally, the extent of the thermal shift of the free exciton energy for different y indicates that the electron band edge has a localized character which increases with nitrogen content.
