摘要
Our experiments show that photoluminescence spectra from dilute nitride Ga1-x In-x NyAs1-y/GaAs (y < 2%) quantum wells (QW) are independent of growth temperature of the QWs in the range from 430 to 470&DEG;C. Spectral blue shift upon annealing is large for the low-temperature QW (430&DEG;C), and emission intensity is more enhanced than that of the high-temperature QW (470&DEG;C). Raman scattering reveals that the 430&DEG;C QW contains more In - N bonds than does the 470&DEG;C QW. It seems, therefore, that the blue shift, which is proportional to a number of In - N bonds, originates from the presence of point-like defects of the alloy. Lower emission intensity from the annealed 470&DEG;C sample may be attributed to more pronounced alloy fluctuations and interface roughening, seen in cross-sectional transmission electron micrographs.
