摘要
The temperature dependence of free and bound exciton lines in high-purity, undoped wurtzite GaN layers has been studied by photoluminescence (PL) between 2 and 300 K. Below 30 K the neutral donor bound exciton D degrees X produces the strongest near band gay PL signal whereas free A and B excitons dominate the spectrum at room temperature. A deconvolution of the asymmetric D degrees X line shape provides strong evidence for two residual shallow donors differing in ionisation energies by a factor of 1.5. The origin of a PL line occurring at E-g = 116 meV is discussed in two alternative models. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science S.A.
