Yellow Luminescence (YL) band and blue luminescence (BL) band in a studied unintentionally doped GaN sample show a transient behaviour where the observed luminescence intensities change with the exposure time of the sample under 325 nm laser beam excitation at 10–300 K. Such an intensity variation is accompanied with a red-shift for YL peak at 10–140 K and one for BL peak at 140 K. We propose that such behaviours are related to the chemical transformations of YL-related CN and CNON defects, and BL-related CN-Hi and CNON-Hi defects during the exposure.
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.
