The band-gap energy (Eg) of metalorganic vapor phase epitaxially (MOVPE) grown Ga0.5In0.5P lattice matched to (001) GaAs is presented as a function of a wide range of V/III ratios and growth temperatures. Photoluminescence, Raman scattering spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and impurity diffusion were used to investigate this functional relationship. Two pieces of evidence are shown which demonstrate that MOVPE Ga0.5In0.5P epitaxial layers with ‘‘abnormal’’ Eg∼1.85 eV and ‘‘normal’’ Eg∼1.9 eV correspond to an ordered and a random (Ga,In) distribution on column III sublattices, respectively. In an ordered state, a sequence of (110) planes...GaGaInInGaGaInIn...in the [110] direction is the most probable distribution.
We fabricated air-bridge-type silicon photonic crystal (PC) nanocavities and observed significant enhancement of photoluminescence (PL) from crystalline silicon at room temperature. Cavity-resonant peaks shifted toward longer wavelengths when the period of PC was increased and their polarization dependences agree with the calculation. At a cavity mode wavelength, a 310-fold enhancement of PL intensity, compared with that of unpatterned silicon-on-insulator substrate, was demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
