Nn. Zinovev et al., PHOTOLUMINESCENCE AND RAMAN-SCATTERING FROM GAN LAYERS GROWN ON GAAS AND GAP SUBSTRATES, Semiconductor science and technology, 10(8), 1995, pp. 1117-1121
We report comprehensive photoluminescence, Raman scattering and photol
uminescence excitation data on GaN layers grown by MBE on GaAs and GaP
substrates. The main photoluminescence feature of GaN layers correspo
nds to the recombination of free carriers from conduction and valence
bands. It is supported by both photoluminescence and photoluminescence
excitation spectroscopic data. The origin of impurity-assisted photol
uminescence is discussed. We also report the Raman spectra on cubic Ga
N films.
