摘要
Recombination processes in Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y/GaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were investigated as function of the nitrogen molar fraction. We found a pronounced S-shaped behavior for the temperature-dependent shift of the photoluminescence emission similar to the ternary nitrides InGaN and AlGaN. This is explained by exciton localization at potential fluctuations. Time-resolved measurements at 4 K reveal an increase of the decay time with decreasing emission energy. A model based on lateral transfer processes to lower-energy states is proposed to explain this energy dependence. The formation of tail states in the Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y/GaAs MQWs is attributed to nitrogen fluctuations. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
