The temperature dependence of the band gap in InAsyP1−y (y=0–0.67) has been determined by photoluminescence, x-ray diffraction, and absorption spectra measurements. We found that the measured data within the temperature range of 77–300 K can be expressed by the equation proposed by O’Donnell and Chen. The band gap at 77 K is given by Eg=1.407−1.073y+0.089y2, while the compositional dependence of the band gap observed at 300 K, agrees with the values previously reported. We confirmed that changes in temperature caused a slight change in the bowing parameters, and hence found that the band gap temperature dependence of InAsyP1−y (y=0–1) varies very little with changes in composition (2.5–3.5×10−4 eV/K).
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.
