摘要
We compare the results of low-temperature (4.2 K) microphotoluminescence (PL) measurements on cleaved edges of spontaneously ordered GaInP2 alloy samples with the results of cross-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM dark-field images show that the size of ordered domains grows as the deposition progresses. The excitonic luminescence peak in the micro-FL spectra of GaInP2 is stronger near the surface of the thin film than near the substrate. From these results, we conclude that there is a direct correlation between the domain size or alternatively, the density of domain boundaries, and the relative strength of the excitonic peak.
