Re. Pritchard et al., THE STRUCTURE AND VIBRATIONAL-MODES OF H-C(AS) PAIRS IN PASSIVATED ALAS GROWN BY CHEMICAL BEAM EPITAXY, Semiconductor science and technology, 9(2), 1994, pp. 140-149
AlAs layers grown by chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) and doped with either
C-12 or C-13 have been passivated with hydrogen or deuterium. Infrare
d absorption lines due to hydrogen stretch modes, symmetric A1 modes a
nd 'carbon-like' E modes of H-C(As) and D-C(As) pairs have been assign
ed for both carbon isotopes. Comparisons have been made with previous
measurements made on H-C(As) centres in GaAs:C and with simple harmoni
c models, and the results are shown to be in agreement with ab initio
local density functional calculations.
