摘要
The microluminescence surface scan technique has been used to investigate ambipolar carrier diffusion, photon diffusion, and photocarrier recombination in a nominally undoped InGaAs bulk layer lattice matched to InP grown by vapor levitation epitaxy. Measurements taken at different temperatures between 75 and 300 K are discussed in terms of the relative contribution of the two distinct mechanisms to the spectrally integrated luminescence intensity, namely, photon diffusion and photocarrier diffusion.
