摘要
High-quality Inx Al1xN (0.71 = xIn = 1.00) nanocolumns (NCs) have been grown on Si(111) substrates by rf-plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy (rf-MBE). Low-temperature photoluminescence (LT-PL) spectra of various In-rich InAlN NCs were measured at 4 K and single peak PL emissions were observed in the wavelength region from 0.89 mu m to 1.79 mu m. Temperature-dependent PL spectra of In0.92Al0.08N NCs were studied and the so-called S-shape (decreaseincreasedecrease) PL peak energy shift was observed with increasing temperature. This shift indicates the carrier localization induced by the In segregation effect and is different from the anomalous blue shift frequently observed in InN films and nanowires with high residual carrier concentra- tions.
