摘要
Studies have been conducted which clarify the mechanism producing the 0.8-eV photoluminescent band in AlxGa1-xAs:Cr. Photocapacitance was employed to measure the optical ionization energies of Cr2+ with respect to the conduction and valence bands as a function of composition x. It was shown that the sum of the optical ionization energies of Cr2+ exceeds the direct energy gap by an amount E, the magnitude of which decreases with increase in x. An explanation of this result is given in terms of the conduction-band structure and Stokes' shift. Photoconductivity measurements were carried out which establish the degeneracy range of the Cr2+(E5) excited level with respect to the conduction band as x is varied from 0 to 0.6. Alternate models of photoluminescent intraimpurity transitions from Cr levels in n- and p-type crystals are analyzed. © 1979 The American Physical Society.
