“…For samples B, C, and D, however, as the Sb concentration increases from 0.2% to 0.8%, the PL intensity drops and the linewidth widens, indicating that Sb is a surfactant as well as an alloy constituent. The deterioration of the PL performance results from the straininduced defects in the AlAs barriers with an increase of Sb [15]. In order to explain Sb as a surfactant on the improvement of surface roughness, we use the infinite square potential well model to describe the relation of the interface roughness and linewidth.…”
