B. Kaufmann et al., NEW NEAR-INFRARED DEFECT LUMINESCENCE IN GAN DOPED WITH VANADIUM BY ION-IMPLANTATION, Applied physics letters, 68(2), 1996, pp. 203-204
We report a new photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of wurzite-type GaN in
tentionally doped with vanadium by ion implantation. A group of severa
l broad intense near-infrared PL lines is observed at 820 meV. The who
le PL spectrum can be observed up to room temperature. The samples wer
e grown by low-pressure metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on sapphire s
ubstrate. After ion implantation the samples were annealed under growt
h conditions at 920 degrees C. (C) 1996 American Institute of Physics.
