Photoluminescence spectra were measured for type-II heterostructures n
-Ga0.89In0.11As0.1Sb0.9/N-GaSb. It was found that an effective radiati
ve recombination channel at the interface exists. The occurrence of th
is channel is due to a localization of nonequilibrium holes at the nat
ive deep acceptors in GaSb situated in the region of band-bending pote
ntial at the boundary. The explanation of the recombination transition
s is based on the calculations of the energy-band diagram for the hete
rojunction under study.
