Fm. Vorobkalo et al., ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN THE INTENSITY OF INTRINSIC LUMINESCENCE AFTER DIFFUSION OF COPPER INTO SEMIINSULATING UNDOPED GALLIUM-ARSENIDE CRYSTALS, Semiconductors, 32(5), 1998, pp. 509-512
The effect of copper diffusion into semi-insulating undoped GaAs cryst
als on the intensity of intrinsic luminescence is analyzed. It is show
n that diffusion of copper into semi-insulating undoped GaAs crystals
can lead either to an increase or a decrease in the intensity of intri
nsic luminescence. Analytic relations, which connect the magnitude and
sign of the effect with recombination parameters in these crystals, a
nd also with the intensity of the excitation luminescence, are obtaine
