摘要
Several local vibrational modes (LVMs), observed in magnesium-doped high-pressure grown bulk samples, are attributed to two types of magnesium-oxygen complexes. The equivalent high-energy modes for beryllium-oxygen complexes are also observed in GaN:Be samples. Therefore, oxygen plays two roles for p-type doping of GaN: it compensates the acceptors and makes complexes with them. In addition to the well known LVM at 3125 cm(-1) resulting from the passivation of the magnesium acceptor by hydrogen, two new modes at 4090 and 4110 cm(-1) (at 6 K) are observed in as-grown OMVPE layers. We interpret them as originating from rotating hydrogen molecules in interstitial sites of the GaN lattice. Therefore, hydrogen passivates the acceptors and is also present in molecular form.
