摘要
The luminescence properties of transition-metal (Cr, V, and Ru)-doped GaSb single crystals have been studied by a cathodoluminescence (CL) technique in a scanning electron microscope. Spatial segregation of impurities along the longitudinal direction of the crystals grown by the Bridgman method has been investigated. These dopants suppress the native acceptor concentration to varying extent. The behavior of Ru has been found to be different from the behavior of V and Cr. In particular the complete disappearance of the 777 meV (band A) emission has been observed in GaSb:Ru with a low doping level. A peak at 767 meV is also seen in this sample which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been previously observed in GaSb. The CL results have been complemented by x-ray-microanalysis measurements to ascertain the effect of doping level on the luminescence properties.
